It's rare to see a delay posted there due to traffic backups, so any delay would more likely be due to the weather itself.

You might start looking at SEA as the weather there is supposed to be a little better (but still wet). I probably wouldn't change anything yet, but I'd start looking at my options.
I looked at several Portland news sites. Interestingly none of them talks about the rain/flood on the main page. Nor is it on any national news. Nor can I find any Google News about possible travel disruption. Seems like no one thinks it's a big deal. I hope they are right.

Here in Indy whenever we are about to get significant snow (>2 in), it's always on the front page.

I hope that means it won't be bad for travel.
