...HEAVY RAINFALL TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT WILL LEAD TO AN
INCREASED THREAT OF LANDSLIDES IN WESTERN WASHINGTON...

Rainfall of 1 to 5 inches over the past 3 days has increased soil
moisture to moderate levels across western Washington. Heavy rainfall
of 2 1/2 to 5 inches is expected today through Tuesday night. This
amount of rain will put extra pressure on soil instability, leading
to an increased threat of landslides and debris flows.
