Corvallis police say water levels in the Northeast Oxford Circle and Lancaster Drive area are slowly receding.

A word on the weather forecast, again courtesy of the city of Corvallis: More wet weather. Rain, heavy at times, is expected throughout the Willamette Valley. Light rain is anticipated tonight and early Friday. The next front will spread moderate to heavy rain over the western Willamette Valley again Friday afternoon through Saturday, along with increasing winds. These warmer winds should help remove cold air, but snow levels will drop down to between 1,000 to 3,000 feet after the initial blows through. As a result, more heavy snow may occur in the mountains and hills.

The Alsea School District says it will be closed on Friday due to continued flooding.

HWY 99 in South Corvallis by the Dutch Bros is flooding...only the inside lanes are passable by smaller cars. Take the back roads to avoid the flooded spot.

by iSleepALot 1/20/2012 1:35:43 AM
Jesusschild2, Yes, Periwinkle does then flow to the Willamette. My grandparents lived on Oak just south of 9th, I'd walk back to the creek. It goes under 9th just west of Periwinkle Plaza.

by Native Oregonian 1/20/2012 1:35:45 AM
@Matt Thanks for the heads up

by Chris 1/20/2012 1:35:47 AM

by CT 1/20/2012 1:41:09 AM
Does anyone know why people are searching the creek out by coastal farm???

by stitzmania 1/20/2012 1:43:01 AM
@CT it was open an hour ago. The creek by the mill was quite high though.

by 42jc 1/20/2012 1:43:05 AM
I think a car went into the ditch at Coastal

by Native Oregonian 1/20/2012 1:43:53 AM
So if the Willamette crests in Albany as predicted, will it flood into Front Street or downtown, or just flood parts of the park?

by Ann 1/20/2012 1:44:55 AM
This just in from Corvallis police: High water has begun to block north and south bound lanes of Highway 99W in Corvallis at SE Lilly Ave. A small amount of floating debris is also making its way into the travel lanes due to the high water. Corvallis Police and Corvallis Public Works are coordinating with ODOT for traffic control in the area. Until then Corvallis Police Officers and Corvallis Public Works are coordinating the traffic control efforts. Drivers traveling through Corvallis on Highway 99W should expect delays until water levels recede. Drivers should also be watchful for police officers and flaggers in the roadway directing traffic.

More than 200 people have turned out for a candlelight vigil in the Albany Mega Foods parking lot for the victims who were swept into nearby Periwinkle Creek on Wednesday night.

by g.kislingbury via email 1/20/2012 1:46:50 AM
Ann, Thats difficult to determine. It depends where it goes over the banks EXACTLY and how much excess water is released...just be very watchful

About the creek by Coastal in Albany, is that off Goldfish Farm Rd? So is that road closed?

by CT 1/20/2012 1:49:44 AM
Is that where the black honda (or so it looks like a Honda) just wrecked--Santiam Hwy?

by Jesusschild2 1/20/2012 1:52:11 AM
Water on Bellfountain Road at about noon Thursday.

by Mike Mcinally, Mid-Valley... 1/20/2012 1:52:53 AM
I think Goldfish farm rd is open, they were using it for a detour while they were working on the accident
