Flood warnings issued for Snohomish, Skykomish rivers
EVERETT — The Snohomish and Skykomish rivers could reach flood stages beginning Wednesday afternoon, according to the National Weather Service.
The National Weather Service issued three flood warnings Wednesday due to heavy rain over the Central Cascades combined with higher snow levels. Two were for the Snohomish River at Snohomish and near Monroe. The river is expected to rise above its 25-foot flood stage Wednesday evening and reach 28.7 feet Thursday morning. The river could remain above flood stage through Saturday, according to the warning. Moderate flooding is expected at Snohomish and minor flooding is expected near Monroe.
The National Weather Service expects the flooding to reach several roads, including Old Snohomish Monroe Road and Riverview Road. The flooding could also reach low areas of the lower Snohomish valley not protected by levees, the warning said.
Another warning was for minor flooding of the Skykomish River near Gold Bar. The National Weather Service expects the river to rise above its 15-foot flood stage to 15.6 feet late Wednesday evening. It is expected to fall below flood stage early Thursday morning.
