Special Weather Statement issued March 19 at 12:11PM PDT by NWS Seattle WA

Rainfall of 2 to 7 inches over the past 3 days has increased soil moisture to high levels across western Washington. Heavy rainfall of 0.75 up to 4 inches is expected over the next 30 hours. This amount of rain will put extra pressure on soil instability, leading to an increased threat of landslides and debris flows, especially from recent burned areas. Over the last couple days at least one landslide has been reported in King County. More landslides are possible. Areas most susceptible to landslides debris flows under these conditions are steep coastal bluffs, other steep hillsides or road cuts, and recent burned areas. A diminishing threat of landslides and debris flows will continue for several days after the rain ends.

Service Notice – February 2026: The Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) CAP Service undergoes changes from time to time as the business of alerting evolves. For 2026, changes are expected to include... 1) ECCC's initiative to introduce free-form polygons to represent the true threat area of a weather hazard is tentatively set for Spring 2026 deployment. Data changes will appear in CAP following this deployment and 2) other minor improvements and corrections. For more information on these changes: https://comm.collab.science.gc.ca/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/dd_info@comm.collab.science.gc.ca/ | Notification de service – février 2026: Le service du PAC d’Environnement et Changement climatique Canada (ECCC) subit périodiquement des changements à mesure que le système d’alerte évolue. Pour 2026, il y aura des changements incluant... 1) l’initiative d’ECCC visant à introduire des polygones libres pour représenter la véritable zone de menace d’un danger météorologique devrait être déployée provisoirement au printemps 2026. Des changements de données apparaîtront dans le PAC à la suite de ce déploiement et 2) d’autres améliorations et corrections mineures.

Heavy Rain and High Freezing Levels What and where: - Near 50 mm for the Fraser Canyon south of Boston Bar, Manning - Skagit Valley, Highway 3 - Hope to Manning Park including Allison Pass. - 50 to 80 mm for Coquihalla Highway - Hope to Merritt. When: Now through early this afternoon. Impacts: - Heavy rain on snow combined with mountain snow melt could lead to very enhanced responses in river systems and potential for flooding. - Extensive water pooling on roads and washouts may occur. - Elevated risk of landslides due to saturation of soils. Remarks: An atmospheric river will remain over southern B.C. through this afternoon. The heaviest rainfall is forecast to continue through noon today. With freezing levels ranging from 2000 to 2500 metres, snowmelt from higher elevations may increase the impacts associated with this rainfall event. Rain will taper to a few showers this afternoon and freezing levels will drop as the cold front passes. Strong southwesterly winds with gusts up to 50 to 70 km/h will develop late this morning and persist through this evening. ### Water will likely pool on roads and in low-lying areas. Some travel delays are possible. Landslides may occur in vulnerable areas such as steep slopes, deforested areas or recent burn scars. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to BCstorm@ec.gc.ca or post reports on X using #BCStorm.

Watch for washouts near rivers, creeks and culverts.
