Flood Watches Over Washington

By Rod Hill on 2015-11-13


My updated forecast holds heavy rain well north of Portland.  The one heavy rain band on track for the metro will arrive late Saturday afternoon or evening.  Steady rainfall for 1-2 hours will drop .50" of rain or less.  

A threat of heavy rain continues Friday and Saturday for much of Washington, including Long Beach, the Willapa Hills and parts of Cowlitz county. A FLOOD WATCH is in effect for rivers running out the Willapa Hills through Saturday evening.  As of early Friday morning, 1-2
of rain as fallen in the region and additional amounts of 4-6" will be possible through the day Saturday.  Residents should be alert for rapidly rising river levels. 

Inches of rain over the Olympic Mountains could reach near 10" through the weekend.
