 Areal Flood Watch 
Statement as of 9:24 PM PDT on May 16, 2008


... Flood Watch remains in effect through Sunday evening...

The Flood Watch continues for

* a portion of western Washington... including the following
counties... King... Lewis... and Pierce.

* Through Sunday evening

* very warm weather will result in continued rapid snow melt and
rising rivers. Crests may occur as early as overnight. River
levels were up due to the recent rain. Before rivers were able
to recede much... melting snow caused levels to rise again. The
trend in the river forecasts were toward higher crests. However
temperatures this weekend may be a little cooler than earlier
predicted. Due to the uncertainty in the river forecasts... this
situation will be monitored closely.

* Any flooding that does occur will be minor. The rivers at most
risk of flooding are the Snoqualmie... Puyallup... white...
Nisqually and Cowlitz.

A Flood Watch means conditions are favorable for flooding but
flooding is not imminent or occurring. Monitor the weather and be
ready to act quickly if flooding is observed or a warning is
issued.
