The atmospheric river adds a few factors to the forecast.
There are strong winds expected — for today, it was mainly the coastal cities getting the gust today, up to 40–45 mph.
There are also flooding concerns, mainly for the Skokomish River — this is going to take the brunt of the flow from the rainfall in the Cascades and Olympics. It's forecast to crest today and reach action stage by Monday. NWS Seattle, as of this morning, had no watches or warnings in place, but it has a Hydrologic Outlook posted.
