The next statement will be issued by this evening at 1145 PM PST.

Rainfall of 2 to 12 inches over the past several days 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.

Another moderately strong atmospheric river will impact western
Washington starting as early as Saturday night and extending into
Wednesday. Rain, heavy at times, is likely. The snow level will be
5000 feet rising to 8000 ft during the heaviest rainfall on Monday
before dropping to 3000 to 4000 feet Monday night into Tuesday. In
addition, soils will still be nearly saturated and rivers elevated
or still above flood stage.

Expect rising rivers with the potential for flooding. Urban
flooding, landslides, and debris flows are also possible throughout
this period.

Service for additional information.
