The Chehalis at Porter is now flowing at 26.2K cfs, still on a steep rise... Satsop now contributing another 15.5K cfs, also on a steep rise... Wynoochee now adding at least another ~10K cfs. That makes a grand total of over 51.3K cfs (and still on a steep rise!) currently flowing down the tidal mainstem into Aberdeen. (Double the river volume that went over its banks in town this morning) And let's not forget to throw in the rising flows from the Wishkah and Hoquiam Rivers that are also converging on those low-lying flats in Aberdeen and Hoquiam.

That's a HUGE bolus of water flowing into town, and mainstem Chehalis outflow will only continue to increase overnight. The next 10 foot high tide arrives at 5am, so Greater Aberdonia is in for another round of significant flooding before daylight.
