...HIGH FLOWS ON RIVERS AND STREAMS TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND
ALONG THE EAST SLOPES OF THE WASHINGTON CASCADES...

Moderate to heavy rain is expected this week along the Washington
Cascade crest. With temperatures remaining above freezing at night
and warming into the 40s during the day, increased snowmelt is
expected as well. The rain and snow melt will increase water levels
in rivers and streams flowing off the Cascades.

The Naches River at Naches is expected to remain above action stage
then rise above minor flood stage Friday afternoon through Sunday
morning. The Naches River at Cliffdell and the Yakima River at
Umtanum are expected to remain above action stage through at least
Sunday but are not expected to reach minor flood stage. The Yakima
River at Easton is expected to rise just above action stage Friday
night and Saturday morning.

Please monitor the latest river forecasts from the National Weather
Service for additional information.
