The National Weather Service in Seattle said the rain will likely get heavier again on Wednesday as it begins to push back slightly southward, before the cold front pushes most of the rain through the area.
The heavy rain is expected to push several rivers into moderate, possibly major, flood stage by later in the week. Flood Watches and Warnings are in effect for the larger rivers in eastern Washington.

The focus for the heaviest rain Wednesday will be in northern portions of the Seattle area, especially in Skagit and Whatcom counties. Rivers levels will rise through Wednesday, potentially resulting in river flooding in parts of this region.
