possible.
* WHERE...Portions of northwest and west central Washington,
including the following counties, in northwest Washington,
Clallam, Grays Harbor, Island, Jefferson, Kitsap, Mason, San Juan,

Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Storm drains
and ditches may become clogged with debris. Area creeks and
streams are running high and could flood with more heavy rain.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- An atmospheric river will continue to impact the area through
much of the week and bring periods moderate to heavy rain to
the region. Sharp rises are occurring on area rivers,
especially those flowing off the Olympics and Cascades.
Urban and small stream flooding is possible for areas with
poor drainage.
Saturated soils will bring increased potential for landslides
and debris flows on burn scars.

Special Weather Statement
Rainfall of up to 8 to 10 inches over the past several days has
increased antecedent soil moisture to high levels across western
Washington. Additional heavy rainfall of 1 to 4 inches across the
lowlands and 4 to 10 inches over the Olympics and Cascades is
expected through late Wednesday. Wet and unsettled conditions are
also favored to continue through the rest of the week. This amount of
rain will put extra pressure on soil instability, leading to an
increased threat of landslides and debris flows, especially from
recent burned areas.
A mudslide was reported along I-90 Monday evening near North Bend,
causing highway closures and extensive delays. More landslides are
possible.
Areas most susceptible to landslides debris flows under these
conditions are steep coastal bluffs, other steep hillsides or
road cuts, and recent burned areas. A diminishing threat of
landslides and debris flows will continue for several days after
the rain ends.

expected.
* WHERE...Portions of northwest and west central Washington.
* WHEN...Until 10 PM PST this evening.
* IMPACTS...Gusty winds could blow around unsecured objects. Tree
limbs could be blown down and a few power outages may result.
Saturated soils may allow wind gusts to impact standing trees.

Hydrologic Outlook
ESFSEW
The bulk of the rainfall concentrated on areas south of the
Skokomish River basin so the chance of the river cresting much
higher than forecast is very low. Another batch of rain overnight
will result in cresting higher than it is, but it is not expected to
exceed flood stage.
Please monitor the latest river forecasts from the National Weather
Service for additional information.
