Portland, OR—The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a Flash Flood Watch for portions of the Oregon Cascades, including the Cascades of Lane County, Cascades of Marion and Linn Counties, and the North Oregon Cascades. The watch is in effect from Saturday afternoon (8/17) through late Saturday night.
The NWS is expecting heavy rainfall over the region which may result in landslides in areas of steep terrain, as well as debris flows in and near burned areas from recent wildfires.

Debris flows are rapidly moving, extremely destructive landslides. They can contain boulders and logs transported in a fast-moving soil and water slurry down steep hillsides and through narrow canyons. They can easily travel a mile or more. A debris flow moves faster than a person can run. People, structures, and roads located below steep slopes in canyons and near the mouths of canyons may be at serious risk.
If your home, work, or travel route is in a watch area:
