Does anyone know a link that would allow me to check total rainfalls around SW WA. I'm interested in knowing the total rainfall amounts around here.

I only have a few river level sites Keith. Maybe if you try searching for a NWS (National Weather Service) website you might find rainfall amounts.

What's if look like for Wednesday?

Pick the airport closest to the area you want to check! This has pretty good info. I use the Quillayute airport for Forks!

Unfortunately, Quillayute isn't the best source of info to find out what's going on in our neck of the woods. Often times, rainfall at Quillayute doesn't even compare to what we're seeing in the hills ... yesterday was a great example, 1.63 inches in 24 hours at Quillayute will often muddy some of the rivers up (some areas will remain fishable with that rainfall total), but usually only for a day. But had you looked at Tom's Creek in the hills at 2400 feet elevation,m you would have found 6.24 in 24 hours and 8.33 inches in 48 hours coupled with 50 degree temps at 2400 feet (56 degrees at over 5000 feet a la Hurricane Ridge). Or how 'bout 7.9 inches in 24 hours at Elk Meadows. This is why things are shot for several days frown

Follow this link, then grab sites in all sections of the drainages you fish!

A lot better option to really tell what's gonna (is) happen.
