Discussion
The atmospheric river has moved east, but Western Washington isn't quite done with the rain. The biggest concern moving forward will be flooding in both roadways and rivers with impressive rain totals leaving behind lingering high waters.
Most rivers will have crested and begun to recede. However the increased threat of landslides will continue for at least the next 3-4 days. The First Alert Weather Team will continue to bring you the latest information to keep you and your family safe.
The Flood Watch continues for most of western Washington through 4 a.m. Thursday.
A front will move in early Thursday for some additional rain during the day, but quantities will not affect the receding rivers. The cold front will push though later Thursday afternoon changing the steady rain to showers Thursday night. Snow levels will drop to 2,000 feet.
There is a break on Friday with only a couple of leftover showers otherwise partly sunny skies. A "normal weather" system pushes in on Saturday for increasing rain during the day changing to showers overnight. A few showers will linger into Sunday morning with clearing skies during the day. Snow levels Saturday will rise to 5,000 feet but drop to 3,000 feet Sunday morning .
High pressure will build in later Sunday and into the first part of next week for dry weather with some morning low clouds and fog and afternoon sun along with cool temperatures.
