Flood Watch for Western Washington

Western Washington has a flood watch from Saturday night into Monday. Chehalis, Skookumchuck and Cowlitz rivers are expected to get some flooding, but forecasters are uncertain about the duration and exact location of the heaviest rain.  A watch is just means that conditions are favorable for flooding, but there might not be any. People should be aware of this watch and be prepared; people should have all traveling around the watch areas done before Saturday afternoon. 
Even though this is just a watch Washington authorities wants all people ready just in case conditions worsen. Many times people don't take watching seriously and when it comes they are not prepared causing more damage than should have.
