Weather forecast update and NOAA is staying with the rain. It is a six day event with the Olympics getting the most rain with Haywire Ridge at 5.5 inches. In the upper Chehalis not nearly as much rain with Doty at 1.72 in the same time period. It appears the 26th is going to be the wettest and right now NOAA has the storm tailing down 28th but still at one inch in the upper Satsop.

Flows on both upper Chehalis and Olympic side are supposed to triple by the 28th and they will just be some above normal average but are going to drop like a rock once the rain stops. So this storm is starting to shape up in the forecast, good for inland gonna suck bay and tidewater.

We used to call a rise like this time of year Mother Nature flushing her toilet. Lots of dust, loose dirt on banks, just plain crap is going to come down for a short brown out on the Satsop is my bet. This will not drag the fish from the ocean or shouldn't but anything in the bay and tidewater is going to move up and likely above the cut off lines inriver before October 1st. Sure hope I am wrong!
