To escape rising water, take the shortest path to higher ground.

cars through flooded areas.

Even 6 inches of fast-moving flood water can knock you off your feet
and a depth of 2 feet will float your car. Never try to walk, swim,
or drive through such swift water. If you come upon flood waters,
stop, turn around and go another way.

Caution is urged when walking near riverbanks.

Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the

The next statement will be issued by this morning at 915 AM PST.

Rainfall of 2 to 12 inches over the past several days, with locally
higher amounts to 17 inches, has increased soil moisture to very
high levels across western Washington. This amount of rain will put
extra pressure on soil instability, leading to an increased threat of
landslides and debris flows, especially from recent burned areas.

Numerous landslides have already been reported in the western
Cascades in western Washington. More landslides are possible.

Areas most susceptible to landslides debris flows under these
conditions are steep coastal bluffs, other steep hillsides or
road cuts, and recent burned areas. A diminishing threat of
landslides and debris flows will continue for several days after
the rain ends.

Another strong atmospheric river will impact western Washington
starting late Sunday extending into mid week. Snow levels will rise
as high as 8500 feet Monday before lowering to 3500 to 4500 feet
Tuesday. Soils will still be saturated and rivers will be elevated.
A few rivers might not drop below flood stage before this round of
rain begins.

Expect rising rivers with the potential for flooding, urban
flooding, and landslides. Debris flows are also possible throughout
this period.

Please monitor the latest river forecasts from the National Weather
Service for additional information.
