A Flood Watch remains in effect through Sunday afternoon at 4:00 p.m. for much of southern Oregon.

Forecasters at the National Weather Service said flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible.

The Watch area includes central Douglas County and its eastern foothills, Josephine and Jackson County, and eastern Curry County. It applies to the cities of Roseburg, Medford, Cave Junction, Grants Pass, Coos Bay, and Gold Beach.

Forecasters said excessive runoff may result in the 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.
