ESFSEW
A stronger storm will set up along the coast over the weekend with
the potential to bring more significant precipitation to the region.
Heaviest amounts over the southwestern slopes of the Olympic
Mountains may result in potential for the Skokomish River to rise
above flood stage Saturday afternoon. Snow levels around 4500 feet
Saturday are expected to lower to around 3000 feet early Sunday
morning. Ongoing precipitation through early next week could help
keep the river levels elevated into Monday.
Please monitor the latest river forecasts from the National Weather
Service for additional information.
