Today the front stalled over the Portland area and then moved off to the north leaving big rain fall totals.

The image below shows rainfall totals as of 4:30 since midnight.

Here is 2 more images of 24 hour rainfall totals in Oregon and Washington from Brian Schmit.

Also there is flooding at seaside on highway 101

 But this flooding concern is not over yet as the front will come over us one again overnight as shown in the model run below, another 1 inch is possible in the metro area adding our storm totals to 3-4 inches
