Rainfall totals in the Cascades from Thursday night through Friday are expected to be in the range of 2 to 5 inches below 5,000 feet, according to KIRO 7 Meteorologist Nick Allard.
in Seattle has issued an Avalanche Warning for the west slopes of the Cascades from the Canadian border to King County, including the mountains in the Mount Baker area, Highway 542, Highway 20 west, and the Mountain Loop Highway. The warning is in effect until 6 p.m. Thursday.
The advisory applies to much of the state, from Bellingham at the north end to Centralia to the south; from the Olympic Mountains on the west end to the Cascades in the east. “Olympics, Cascade Mountains, areas near there could definitely have impact, only because there’s going to be more moisture in those areas, but definitely anywhere could be possible because the soil is so saturated,” Mazurkiewicz added.
