A tropical plume of moisture will push inland Sunday Jan. 4th and Sunday night, dumping heavy rain across much of western Washington. Heaviest rainfall will likely be north toward Seattle, but inches of rain could fall over the Willapa Hills near the Columbia River and across much of Cowlitz county. Forecast models show 2-3" could fall. River and streams in these areas will likely rise quickly during the day Monday and into Monday night. The Grays River near Rosburg, Washington may reach flood stage, while other water ways reach bankfull.
Please be aware of possible high water spots. Dry weather in the forecast Tuesday & Wednesday will allow for rivers to recede.
