WASHINGTON PRECIPITATION SUMMARY
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA
1002 AM PST THU NOV 19 2009
...CHANGES IN FLOOD LEVELS FOR THE SKOKOMISH RIVER BASIN...
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN SEATTLE HAS MADE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE
FLOOD LEVELS FOR THE SKOKOMISH RIVER NEAR POTLACH IN MASON COUNTY.
THIS CHANGE WILL TAKE AFFECT AS OF TODAY NOVEMBER 19 2009.
THIS FLOOD SEASON THERE ARE NEW...HIGHER FLOOD LEVELS FOR THE
SKOKOMISH RIVER NEAR POTLACH IN MASON COUNTY. THE NEW FLOOD LEVELS
ARE:
FLOOD STAGE (MINOR FLOOD)16.5 FEET
MAJOR FLOOD 17.5 FEET
THE REASON FOR THE CHANGE IS THAT CHANGES IN THE RIVER BASIN HAVE
LESSENED THE FLOOD RISK. CONSTRUCTION ON THE U.S. 101 BRIDGE OVER
THE SKOKOMISH RIVER HAS RAISED THE ROADWAY AND BRIDGE WHICH ALLOWS
THE RIVER TO FLOW THROUGH BETTER WITHOUT IMPACTING THE HIGHWAY
THERE...AT SR 106...AND THE SURROUNDING AREAS. CHANGES IN THE
STREAM BED HAVE ALLOWED FOR MORE WATER CONVEYANCE AS WELL.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE HYDROLOGIC SERVICES IN THE SEATTLE AREA...PLEASE CONTACT
BRENT BOWER...HYDROLOGIC PROGRAM MANAGER...AT 206-526-6095.
