Heavy rain and strong winds through early Wednesday could bring additional flooding to Washington State, forecasters warned.
On Wednesday at 4:53 p.m. the National Weather Service issued an updated flood warning valid from Thursday 9 p.m. until Saturday 9:03 a.m. for Clackamas County.
Cloudy skies will dominate through midday before rain redevelops in the afternoon. Temperatures are expected to peak near 52 degrees around 4 p.m., though it will feel closer to the mid-40s. Winds will shift to the south-southwest and strengthen, with gusts potentially reaching 33 mph late in the afternoon as fans arrive at the stadium.
An updated flood warning was released by the National Weather Service on Wednesday at 4:53 p.m. valid from Friday 2 a.m. until Saturday 4:58 a.m. for Benton County.
On Thursday at 1:46 a.m. EST an updated lakeshore flood advisory was issued by the National Weather Service valid from 10 p.m. EST until Friday 7 a.m. EST for Keweenaw County.
Any relief from the state would be slim. Bexar County is eligible for up to $1 million — which would cover just a sliver of the pricey system — as part of a grant program that Texas legislators approved in the recent special session. It sets aside $50 million for counties to upgrade or install flood warning sirens and systems.
Cracks, fractures or erosion in walls, slumps in earth embankments, broken or blocked drainage systems and overgrown vegetation can all lead to a lower score, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
Pinellas County commissioners on Tuesday unanimously approved plans for a housing development that would replace a frequently flooded Gandy mobile home park. Earlier this year, county officials offered relocation assistance to park residents who were forced to evacuate the park after Hurricane Idalia in 2023.
