Seattle, WA – A Flood Watch remains in effect for Grays Harbor and Lewis counties through Thursday afternoon as excessive rainfall continues to raise flooding concerns.

According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Seattle, heavy rain could cause significant runoff, leading to rising water levels in rivers, creeks, and flood-prone areas. Cities including Aberdeen, Hoquiam, Chehalis, and Fords Prairie are at risk for street and river flooding.

Residents are urged to stay alert for potential Flood Warnings as conditions develop. Flooding could impact transportation, low-lying neighborhoods, and roadways, with the potential for closures and detours.

The NWS advises those in flood-prone areas to be prepared for rising waters and to have an evacuation plan if necessary. Motorists should never attempt to drive through flooded roads, as water levels can rise rapidly.
