500 FGUS76 KSEW 211955 ESFSEW WAC009-031-073-222000- Hydrologic Outlook National Weather Service Seattle WA 1155 AM PST Fri Feb 21 2025 ...THREAT OF RIVER FLOODING SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING FOR WHATCOM, JEFFERSON, AND CLALLAM COUNTIES... A series of storms will begin to impact western Washington on Friday and continue through Tuesday. The next storm on Saturday will have heavy rain at times as will a third storm right on its heels Sunday. Precipitation amounts could be 3 to 5 inches storm total with locally heavier amounts, and snow levels rising above 7000 feet. With moderate temperatures now and warmer temperatures to come, this will also result in some snow melt at low to mid elevations. These factors will combine to result in a potential for river flooding. The most likely areas for river flooding will be for rivers flowing off of the Cascades and Olympics. Urban and small stream nuisance flooding and rainfall-induced shallow landslides will also be possible. Please monitor the latest river forecasts from the National Weather Service for additional information. $$ HPR
