Areal Flood Watch
... Flood Watch remains in effect through Thursday afternoon...
The Flood Watch continues for
* a portion of western Washington... including the following
counties... King... Lewis... Pierce... Snohomish... Thurston.
* Through Thursday afternoon
* precipitation totals over the west slopes of the central
Cascades for the storm ranged generally from 3 to over 9 inches.
Precipitation amounts over the north Cascades and Olympics have
been less... mostly in the 2 to 5 inch range. Only a few showers
are left for today. The snow level has lowered to around 3000
ft range.
* The upper reaches of rivers have crested but the lower reaches
are still rising. Operations on certain dams could also affect
river flows below them so the watch remains in effect. The
river crests will flow downstream later today and tonight.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
Flood warnings are in effect for parts of the watch area. The
Flood Watch means that flooding is possible but not occurring in
other areas. This applies to new areas or locations not already
covered by a Flood Warning. Monitor the weather and be ready to
act quickly if flooding is observed or more warnings are issued.
