Including the cities of Marysville, Olympia, Lynnwood, Tacoma,
Chehalis, Everett, Fords Prairie, Hoquiam, Edmonds, Shelton,
Tumwater, Seattle, Aberdeen, and Lacey
...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON...
* WHAT...Flooding caused by rain and snowmelt continues to be
possible.
* WHERE...Portions of northwest Washington and west central
Washington, including the following counties, in northwest
Washington, Grays Harbor and Mason. In west central Washington,
King, Lewis, Pierce, Snohomish and Thurston.
* WHEN...Through Saturday afternoon.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- A period of precipitation from through Friday will result in
accumulations of water equivalent in the watch area of 3 to 6
inches for the Olympics, 4 to 9 inches for the Cascades, and
2 to 4 inches in the lowlands of the watch area, with locally
higher amounts. The snow level will rise early on in this
period over the southern part of western Washington resulting
in a good portion of the precipitation falling as rain.
Lowland snow over much of the area will also melt,
contributing to saturated soil and storm runoff. The
uncertainty with the rising snow level and the amount of
lowland snowmelt makes the flood potential quite uncertain as
to how much flooding there will be.
- http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood
Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared
to take action should flooding develop.
