Historic flooding ongoing across Washington State, more rain ahead next week

After days of torrential rain, the atmospheric river is finally abating over parts of Washington state, but historic river flooding remains. Evacuations are still in effect and ongoing, after Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson declared a State of Emergency Wednesday. Dozens of local and state roads remain closed due to flooding and debris slides. After a brief break in the rain, another atmospheric river is forecast to move over the region beginning Sunday night.
