Hydrologic Outlook issued December 12 at 3:31AM PST by NWS Seattle WA
ESFSEW A stronger storm will set up along the coast over the weekend with the potential to bring more significant precipitation to the region. Heaviest amounts over the southwestern slopes of the Olympic Mountains may result in potential for the Skokomish River to rise above flood stage Saturday afternoon. Snow levels around 4500 feet Saturday are expected to lower to around 3000 feet early Sunday morning. Ongoing precipitation through early next week could help keep the river levels elevated into Monday. Please monitor the latest river forecasts from the National Weather Service for additional information.

ESFBIS The Missouri River now has ice pans floating downstream through the Bismarck and Mandan reach of the river. Thus far, the river continues to flow unimpeded with the ice most likely being carried down into Lake Oahe. While this often initiates the accumulation of immobile ice, and eventually higher water through the Bismarck and Mandan area, warmer weather later this week is likely to delay this annual ritual until sometime later in December. Nonetheless, residents and others interested in water levels through the metro area should remain vigilant for the eventuality of an ice covered Missouri River and higher

ESFAFC Ice Action on Area Rivers Could Produce Some Jam Flooding Recent warm temperatures have melted portions of the ice cover across south central Alaska, causing ice movement and some ice jams. Temporary rises along area rivers and minor flooding of lowland locations are possible through Thursday, ahead of a colder airmass returning to south central Alaska. As colder air filters into by late Wednesday into Thursday, high water and ice action should subside.

ESFSEW A stronger storm system will move though the area over much of the weekend that could produce enough rainfall to drive the Skokomish River above flood stage. There is still a fair amount of uncertainty regarding flooding since the precipitation forecasts have been quite variable. On the low end, it would not produce a flood, but on the high end minor flooding would be likely. Snow levels will remain quite high during the bulk of the heavy precipitation, ranging between 7000 and 9000 feet. Please monitor the latest river forecasts from the National Weather Service for additional information.
