PORTLAND, Ore. -- The city of Kalama was still dealing with water problems Sunday after the massive flooding in the Northwest last week.

A water warning went out after mud plugged the city's water treatment system. Officials said customers all had water by Saturday, but a boiling order remained in effect until January 12 until tests could be completed. More: Kalama water warning

Forecasters said drier skies were expected through the weekend. There might not be a lot of sun breaks until Monday, but the chance of showers was remote. Temperatures were expected to climb into the 50s Sunday.

Interstate-5 re-opened in Washington Friday after flooding earlier in the week buried the highway, forcing evacuations and covering many roads with water.

The Department of Transportation re-opened I-5 through Chehalis just before 11 a.m. to truckers, and all traffic just over an hour later. Two lanes were closed near because of a sinkhole near Longview and severe backups could be seen. More: I-5 reopens

In Oregon, U.S. Hwy 101 through Nehalem was closed by high water but Tillamook County sheriff's deputies said detours were in place.

The constant, heavy rain had stopped in western Washington but it would be days before floodwaters receded, roads reopened and evacuees returned home.

In Woodland, deputies activated a call system to warn residents near the Lewis River to evacuate their homes. And in Cougar, Wash., three people were rescued by boat. More: Family rescued

“I want people to understand the seriousness of the problems we are facing and take action before they become a victim or face a rescue situation”, Lewis County Sheriff Steve Mansfield said. Latest forecast

All three major east-west mountain pass highways through the Cascades were closed due to avalanche danger and mudslides, Washington transportation officials said. Motorists were warned to anticipate travel delays.

KGW meteorologist Dave Salesky said that since the start of January, Portland has seen 4.07" of rain. "The cities monthly average for all of January is 5.35". Bottom line in the first 9 days of the month we've had almost 80% of our monthly average precipitation."

"The jet stream is like a fire hose pushing windy and rainy weather across the Pacific Northwest," Salesky added.

High winds were causing problems, too. U.S. 26 was closed along a 30-mile stretch in Central Oregon due to toppled trees. There were no reports of injuries, but some truckers and passenger vehicles were stranded without a detour while crews worked to clear the road.

Oregon Highway 35 was also closed for a time to truck traffic from Government Camp to Parkdale because high winds and blowing debris created hazardous driving conditions. Oregon 216 between Maupin and Warm Springs was similarly closed.

Across the region, emergency crews used the weather break earlier in the week to assess flood damage and try to clean up.

Estacada hit hard

A State of Emergency was in place for hard-hit Clackamas County. In Estacada, damage was widespread after hundreds were cut off from power, water and roads due to weekend flooding.

Carpets at the Estacada library were pulled out Monday, because of water damage from the flooding and volunteers helped stack sandbags around the building to prevent more damage. People also helped place sandbags around homes in the area and cleared clogged culverts. More : Estacada hit hard
