* 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. - Http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
Summary
This segment spans approximately 6.5 miles and is rated as Class IV+. The ideal streamflow range for this route is between 800-1500 cfs, which typically occurs during the spring snowmelt or heavy rain periods.
The rapids in this section of the river are continuous and technical, with notable features such as "Toilet Bowl" and "The S-Turn." This run also features several waterfalls and steep drops that require advanced boating skills. It is important to note that due to the remote and rugged nature of this area, a high level of self-sufficiency and experience is required to safely navigate the rapids and obstacles.
Specific regulations for this area include a permit requirement for overnight camping, restrictions on campfires, and a strict pack-in, pack-out policy to preserve the pristine wilderness environment.
