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.
According to the official website of the City of Wilsonville, Wilsonville Memorial Park has a boat ramp that provides access to the Willamette River. The boat ramp is described as a "single-lane concrete ramp" that is "wide enough for two boat trailers to launch at the same time." However, the exact width of the boat ramp is not specified.
The Willamette River is a major waterway in Oregon, running from the Cascade Mountains to the Columbia River. It is a popular destination for boating, fishing, and other recreational activities. The boat ramp at Wilsonville Memorial Park provides easy access to the river for a variety of watercraft, including kayaks, canoes, motorized boats, and sailboats.
As for the kind of craft permitted on the water, the City of Wilsonville website states that "all motorized watercraft must be registered with the Oregon State Marine Board and display a valid registration decal." Additionally, there are certain safety requirements that must be met, such as having life jackets and a fire extinguisher on board.
