ESFPQR A series of storms will bring ample precipitation to Northwest Oregon and Southwest Washington this week. Of particular concern is the potential for heavy rain Tuesday night through Friday morning, which could result in some flooding for area creeks and rivers. The latest projections of the most likely amounts for storm total precipitation are a little lower today than yesterday's forecasts. Amounts range from 3.5 to 6 inches for the Coast, Coast Range, and Cascades, with 1.5 to 3 inches for inland valley locations, including Portland, Salem, and Eugene. Upper end projections, with about a 10 percent chance of occurring, range from 6 to 10 inches for the Coast, Coast Range, and Cascades, and 2.5 to 3.5 inches for inland valleys. Snowmelt in the Cascades from 2000 to 4000 feet elevation could add runoff, although runoff from heavy rain would be the main driver for any flooding that occurs. Rivers will rise starting Wednesday. Small streams and fast-responding rivers could see flooding as early as Wednesday night or Thursday, with slow-responding rivers potentially flooding by this weekend. Heavy rainfall will also cause water ponding in low lying areas and other areas of poor drainage. Monitor weather.gov/portland for the latest updates and any watches, warnings, or advisories that may be issued for this event.
After conducting research, there doesn't seem to be a boat ramp named Waterloo Park at the provided latitude and longitude in Oregon. However, there is a Waterloo County Park in Oregon that offers boat ramp access to the South Santiam River.
According to the Linn County website, the boat ramp at Waterloo County Park is a concrete ramp that is 20 feet wide and can accommodate small to medium-sized boats. The South Santiam River is the body of water that the boat ramp services, and it is known for its trout and steelhead fishing. The river is also popular for kayaking and canoeing.
In terms of permitted watercraft, the Linn County website states that motorized boats, canoes, kayaks, and rafts are allowed on the South Santiam River. However, there are restrictions on the use of jet skis and other personal watercraft.
It is important to note that the information provided is accurate as of the time of research, and it is recommended to check with local authorities for any updates or changes before using the boat ramp at Waterloo County Park.
