...HIGH FLOWS ON THE YAKIMA AND NACHES RIVERS TO CONTINUE THROUGH 

THE WEEKEND...



Moderate to heavy rain is expected to continue along the Washington 

Cascade crest through Friday night. With temperatures remaining 

above freezing at night and warming into the 40s during the day, 

increased snowmelt is expected to continue as well. The rain and 

snow melt will increase water levels in rivers and streams flowing 

off the Cascades.



The Naches River at Naches is expected to remain above minor flood 

stage through Sunday evening while briefly reaching moderate flood 

stage on Saturday. The Naches River at Cliffdell and several 

locations on the Yakima River are either above action stage or are 

expected to reach action stage at times through this weekend. 

Further downstream, the Yakima River at Kiona is expected to move 

above action stage Friday afternoon through Tuesday and briefly rise 

to just above minor flood stage Sunday afternoon.



Please monitor the latest river forecasts from the National Weather 

Service for additional information.
