* A strong weather system will bring heavy rainfall across much of Western Washington Thursday evening through Friday. Generally, 3 to 7 inches total rainfall is expected across the region from Thursday into Saturday, with the highest amounts over the mountains. Snow levels will be marginally high enough for much of the precipitation to be in the form of rain.

* Many rivers throughout the watch area are at risk of flooding during this time.

In addition, there is some possibility that landslides could be triggered by this heavy rain though soils
are not saturated at this time.
