Forecast update 7th,8th,9th, and 10th the NOAA river forecast has a good size jump in flows to avaerage cfs. This is being driven by the Olympics streams areas getting 3 inches with Haywire Ridge station which is near the West Fork Satsop at 3.5 iches in the same time period. The upper Chehalis side is different in the same time frame just gatting around 1.25. The odd thing is looking at the river forecast for flows the Satsop does not jump as much as one would think with it going from around 200 cfs to around 300 cfs. Then on the Chehalis side with far less rain forecast at Porter it goes from 208 cfs to 572 cfs.

So as far as NOAA is concerned we are getting rain for sure. The updates the next few days should be interesting as on the Olympic side of things and event like this brings a brown out that comes and goes very rapidly. Broostocking we called it nature flushing her toilet as all the dust banks just everything is dry and loose so everything just pours into the streams making it look ugly. Usually it goes away just as fast but it is the next few days of the forecast that will tell us what is coming.

So this starts around Sept 24th and looks to be several days long ( how many to be decided ) and extended forecast for October is mostly dry and above normal temperatures. Inland guys got to love this bay and tidewater not so much.

The QIN will just love this forecast!
