Preliminary liquid totals of 2 to 8 inches will cause additional sharp rises to area rivers, with many forecast to enter moderate and even major flood stage early next week. Urban and small stream flooding remains possible for areas with poor drainage. Very saturated soils will maintain increased risk for potential landslides and debris flows off of burn scars. - Http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
Special Weather Statement
Rainfall of 2 to 12 inches over the past several days, with locally higher amounts to 17 inches, has increased soil moisture to very high levels across western Washington. 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. Numerous landslides have already been reported in the western Cascades in western Washington. 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.

Hydrologic Outlook
ESFSEW Another strong atmospheric river will impact western Washington starting late Sunday extending into mid week. Snow levels will rise as high as 8500 feet Monday before lowering to 3500 to 4500 feet Tuesday. Soils will still be saturated and rivers will be elevated. A few rivers might not drop below flood stage before this round of rain begins. Expect rising rivers with the potential for flooding, urban flooding, and landslides. Debris flows are also possible throughout this period. Please monitor the latest river forecasts from the National Weather Service for additional information.

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.
