What's next:
An atmospheric river, specifically a Pineapple Express, arrives Saturday. This is a corridor of deep tropical moisture that taps air as far south as the Hawaiian Islands. Expect a very wet, sloppy, and waterlogged day with steady rain and darker skies.
We don't expect any river flooding in Western Washington, except for the Skokomish.
