Special Weather Statement
Issued: 5:29 PM Dec. 15, 2025 – National Weather Service
...HEAVY RAINFALL THIS WEEK WILL LEAD TO AN INCREASED THREAT OF
LANDSLIDES IN WESTERN WASHINGTON...

Rainfall from the past week has increased soil moisture to high
levels across western Washington. Additional rainfall of around 2-6
inches is expected early this week. This amount of rain will put
extra pressure on soil instability, leading to an increased threat of
landslides and debris flows, especially from recent burned areas.
This rain event could act as a trigger for new landslides.

Areas most susceptible to landslides debris flows under these
conditions are steep coastal bluffs, other steep hillsides or
road cuts, and recent burned areas. A diminishing threat of
landslides and debris flows will continue for several days after
the rain ends.

For more information about current conditions, visit
www.weather.gov/seattle, select Hydrology, and then scroll down
for the links to the landslide information pages.

Flood Watch
Issued: 1:28 PM Dec. 15, 2025 – National Weather Service
...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM PST THIS MORNING THROUGH
THURSDAY AFTERNOON...

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
possible.

* WHERE...Portions of northwest and west central Washington,
including the following counties, in northwest Washington,
Clallam, Grays Harbor, Jefferson, Kitsap, Mason, Skagit and
Whatcom. In west central Washington, King, Lewis, Pierce,
Snohomish and Thurston.

* WHEN...From 10 AM PST this morning through Thursday afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur
in poor drainage and urban areas. Storm drains and ditches may
become clogged with debris. Area creeks and streams are running
high and could flood with more heavy rain.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- A series of weather systems this week will bring another
round of significant rainfall to western Washington through
Wednesday. Preliminary liquid totals of 2 to 6 inches,
locally higher in some spots, will cause additional sharp
rises to area rivers.
Urban and small stream flooding remains possible for areas
with poor drainage.

Very saturated soils will maintain increased risk for
potential landslides and debris flows off of burn scars.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood
Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared
to take action should flooding develop.
