Drier weather is coming, but flooding effects are likely to continue for days across portions of western Washington state and northwestern Oregon.

The Skagit and Snohomish rivers, in particular, broke records, according to the NWS, which warned of “locally catastrophic” river flooding. Mountainous areas, including those near Mount Rainier and Auburn, accumulated more than 20 inches of rain within a single week, the Associated Press reported.

Heavy rain continued to fall over parts of the state Thursday morning, prompting road closures, water rescues and suspension of Amtrak trains between Seattle and Vancouver.

Gov. Bob Ferguson and other state officials cautioned that more rainfall was expected after rivers hit record flood levels across the region, while residents worried about the long-term future.
