Powerful atmospheric river delivering historic river flooding, triggering evacuations

A strong atmospheric river continues to slam the Pacific Northwest. Over a foot of rain has been reported across portions of Washington as rounds of rain have pummeled the state. Flood Watches continue across northwest Washington, including Seattle, as a widespread 2-3 inches of additional rain is still likely for coastal Washington. Localized additional amounts of 3-5 inches are possible as downpours continue to soak the region through Thursday.
