* From This Evening Through Wednesday Afternoon.
The Next Pacific Frontal System Will Produce Another Round Of Significant Rainfall Over The Olympic Peninsula And Southwest Washington This Afternoon Through Tonight. This Could Result In Additional River Flooding In The Watch Area.
The Rivers That Flooded On Monday Face The Greatest Threat Of Renewed Or Prolonged Flooding. This Includes The Chehalis... Skookumchuck... Satsop... Skokomish... And Deschutes Rivers... And The Reach Of The Puyallup River Near Orting. However... Other Rivers Of The Olympic Peninsula And Southwest Washington Could Also Flood.
The Incoming Front Will Bring Up To Two To Four Inches Of Rain Over The Higher Terrain... With The Highest Amounts Over The South Facing Slopes Of The Olympic Mountains.
A Flood Watch Means Conditions Are Favorable For Flooding But Flooding Is Not Imminent Or Occurring. Monitor The Weather And Be Ready To Act Quickly If Flooding Is Observed Or A Warning Is Issued.
_________________________
The Chehalis is the River south of here that flooded a couple weeks ago... The Deschutes is the one that runs right through Tumwater and has the falls we went to see.
The Deschutes is in a deep gully through town, it never floods dangerously, except some flooding of a golf course upriver from the falls. It will make the falls loud and fast to go see this weekend.
Rosie, I thought you'd appreciate the names of the other rivers ;~D
