More Drought Relief Headed to California This Week

The frequency of rain will steadily increase throughout the first half of the week across the Pacific Northwest with much of the rain falling along and west of the Cascades.

Heavy downpours can cause travel disruptions along the Interstate-5 corridor, including in Seattle, Tacoma and Olympia, Washington; and Portland, Salem and Eugene, Oregon.

The bouts of heavy rain could also lead to flash flooding over upslope regions of the Cascades with snow falling over the higher elevations of the mountains.

Snow levels should remain above pass level, good news for those trying to drive through Stevens Pass or Snowqualmie Pass.
