Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur

become clogged with debris. Area creeks and streams are running
high and could flood with more heavy rain.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- A series of weather systems next week will bring another
round of significant rainfall to western Washington late
Sunday through Wednesday. Preliminary liquid totals of 2 to 8
inches will cause additional sharp rises to area rivers, with
many forecast to enter moderate and even major flood stage
early next week.
Urban and small stream flooding remains possible for areas
with poor drainage.
Very saturated soils will maintain increased risk for
potential landslides and debris flows off of burn scars.
