Flood Watch For King County Until Saturday

REDMOND, WA - The National Weather Service has issued a flood watch for King County due to heavy rains that have fallen in recent days - and rain that's still to come. The NWS is highlighting the Snoqualmie River is especially susceptible to flooding right now.

"The Snoqualmie river at the falls will crest close to or above flood stage and that could be before midnight. Even if it doesn`t, the next batch of heavy rain will drive it back up again close to flood stage. An additional 2 to 5 inches of rain will fall tonight into early Saturday in the north Cascades on top of the 2 to 4 inches that fell over the past 36 hours," the NWS wrote in the warning.

The Tolt River near Carnation is under a flood warning, which means drivers could see flooded roadways.

Snohomish County is also under a flood watch, but only until 3 p.m. Friday.

The flood watch expires on Saturday morning.
