A series of atmospheric rivers will provide rounds of increasingly
impactful rainfall starting on Friday and continuing through early
next week. Snow levels will remain around 5000 to 6000 feet. Expect
rising rivers with potential for flooding especially for rivers
flowing off the Olympics and Cascades. Urban flooding and landslides
are also possible throughout this period as the soil conditions
remain wet.
