Drone footage captured major river flooding near Fall City, Washington stemming from the Snoqualmie River, located just east of Seattle, showcasing residences and farms inundated by major river flooding.
Fueled by the atmospheric river, the Snoqualmie River crested the highest it's been at Snoqualmie Falls in 10 years, with a flow rate of 45,000 cubic feet per second, at 17.8 feet.
The powerful atmospheric river will continue to slam the region through the middle of the week, as rounds of Pacific moisture will continue to soak the region, resulting in an elevated risk of flooding.
Through Thursday, localized amounts of 3-5 inches are possible as downpours continue to soak the region. Continuous heavy rain has already led to a sharp rise in water levels, with several rivers, including the Cowlitz River near Randle, Washington, and the aforementioned Snoqualmie River at Carnation, Washington, at major flood stage as of late Tuesday.
