The National Weather Service is calling on Pacific Northwest residents to prepare for yet another "chaotic" stretch of weather.
Starting today, a series of frontal systems and atmospheric rivers will move across the region, bringing widespread rain, gusty southwestern winds and the potential for river flooding and snow in the high Cascades through Monday.
Strong winds will likely sweep inland this morning. And because the ground is already so saturated from last week's historic rainfall, trees could easily come down. That could mean sporadic power outages, per NWS.
Plus: A flood watch has been issued due to heavy rains tomorrow and Friday, which could increase the risk of flood for local rivers, including the Tualatin, Clackamas and Sandy.
The Willamette has a 5-10% chance of reaching flood stage too.
