A Flood Watch remains in effect from 10:00 a.m. Saturday through 4:00 p.m. Sunday for much of southern Oregon.
Forecasters at the National Weather Service said flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible.
The Watch applies to all valleys west of the Cascades and includes the cities of Roseburg, Medford, Cave Junction, Grants Pass, Coos Bay, and Gold Beach.
Forecasters said excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Storm drains and ditches may become clogged with debris. Area creeks and streams are running high and could flood with more heavy rain.
Residents should be alert for possible flood warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop.
