This March is officially one of the wettest ever in Portland, according to the National Weather Service.

And there's more rain to come.

As of 11 a.m. Saturday, 7.73 inches of rain fell on the city over the last month, easily lobbing over the previous record of 7.52 inches in March 1957.

A cold front will continue to shower Portland into the afternoon, with a slight chance of thunderstorms.

Less rain than expected fell Friday night, which lowered the risk of major flooding. The flood watch was dropped for most rivers across the state except for the Willamette River below Oregon City and Columbia River below Bonneville Dam, the Oregon coast and smaller tributaries.
