the river is at bankfull level. Above this level, it begins to spill over the banks into adjacent low lands. Some minor flooding is possible in Raymond if this river level accompanies high tide.
18' -
high river flows combined with anomalously-high tides may cause some lowland flooding in and near Raymond, including low areas on Hwy 101 in Raymond and Heckard Road near Willapa.
