Widespread rainfall totals of 3 to 5 inches are expected, with locally over 6 inches on the the highest peaks. Snow levels will increase from around 3,500 feet up to as high as 4,500 feet tonight before lowering once again Thursday. While precipitation will be much less with the systems beginning Friday the lack of much of a break will keep rivers over the Southwest Interior rising into the weekend. It is possible the lower reaches of the Chehalis could flood late Friday into Saturday. The Skookumchuck near Bucoda, Newaukum near Chehalis and the Satsop near Satsop could reach action stage Friday. Please monitor the latest river forecasts from the National Weather Service for additional information.
