Snohomish County braces for rain and possible flooding

EVERETT — It’s time to get your rain jacket that’s been weirdly collecting dust this winter out of the closet.

The National Weather Service has issued a flood watch for much of Snohomish County and the Puget Sound region from Sunday morning through Tuesday night for the possibility of excessive flooding from an atmospheric river.

The atmospheric river, a weather term for narrow strips of atmosphere carrying large quantities of water vapor from the tropics, is expected to produce up to 2 inches of rain in the lowlands of Snohomish County.

“This will be a pretty wet system, and certainly wetter than at least we’ve seen in the past couple months,” National Weather Service meteorologist Logan Howard said.
