...The National Weather Service in Seattle WA has issued a Flood 

Warning for the following rivers in Washington...



  Pilchuck River Near Snohomish affecting Snohomish County.



.This second phase of the atmospheric river has hung up enough over 

King County to result in plenty of rainfall that is driving the 

Pilchuck up above flood stage.



PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...



Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood 

deaths occur in vehicles.



Motorists should not attempt to drive around barricades or drive 

cars through flooded areas.



Caution is urged when walking near riverbanks.



Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the 

dangers of flooding.



Even 6 inches of fast-moving flood water can knock you off your feet 

and a depth of 2 feet will float your car. Never try to walk, swim, 

or drive through such swift water. If you come upon flood waters, 

stop, turn around and go another way.



Additional information is available at www.weather.gov.



The next statement will be issued by late tonight at 130 AM PST.
