A series of storm systems will spread moderate to heavy rainfall
across Western Washington this weekend and into early next week.
Storm total rainfall amounts of 3 to 6 inches are possible across
the Olympic Peninsula. Snow levels near 2500-3000 ft may limit
runoff amounts. This amount of prolonged rainfall has the potential
to push the Skokomish River into flood stage.
Please monitor the latest river forecasts from the National Weather
Service for additional information.
