SEATTLE — Western Washington is expected to get a break from wet, stormy weather Wednesday and Thursday.
A weak system will bring some rain through the region Wednesday evening, but it will dissipate by daybreak Thursday, which will be dry with some sunshine.
Tuesday's storm was the third storm to hit western Washington since the start of the new year. Puget Sound received record-setting rainfall and heavy mountain snow Saturday, and another system dumped more rain and snow Sunday into Monday morning.
Due to the amount of precipitation, the soil remains moist and there is an increased threat of flooding, landslides, and avalanches in the backcountry. The National Weather Service is warning of increased threat of landslides for much of the Puget Sound region.
A Flood Warning is in effect for the Skokomish River in Mason County and the Chehalis River in Grays Harbor and Thurston counties. Check the flood status of river near you here.
