SEATTLE - By Saturday, the atmospheric river had moved out of the area, leaving behind lingering impacts rather than widespread rain. One of the biggest concerns Saturday morning involved river flooding, particularly along the Snohomish River.

Major flooding was occurring Saturday morning near Monroe and in Snohomish along the Snohomish River, where water levels were high enough to trigger Flood Warnings along the river and monitoring for possible road closures. 

Of note: a rescue was reported before 10 a.m. along Northeast Tolt Hill Road after a man climbed onto the top of a car while surrounded by rising water. Emergency responders assisted him, and the person was uninjured and was given a ride home.

According to the National Weather Service, the Flood Warnings for the Snohomish River also included concern that levees could be damaged with berms potentially overtopped. Earlier this morning, we reached out to Snohomish County to learn if any damage was sustained. While flooding there remained significant Saturday morning, it was the exception rather than the rule.

Elsewhere, several Western Washington rivers were also under Flood Warnings earlier in the day as well, including the Nooksack River, Snoqualmie River, Skagit River, and Cedar River. In most cases, the flooding was expected to remain in the minor to moderate range.

 Improving Seattle weather conditions should allow rivers to gradually recede through the weekend. (FOX 13 Seattle)

Morning clouds to start the day with a slight chance of a shower, but skies should remain mainly dry. Clouds will also linger a little longer over the cental Puget Sound as other parts of western Washington see more sunshine.

A weak system will pass along the north coast Saturday evening into early Sunday, bringing a slight chance of a shower. Skies will be mostly dry with more sunbreaks Sunday with highs in the low 50s. Skies will be mostly cloudy Monday ahead of the next system arriving Tuesday. We will see more lowland rain, breezy winds and mountain snow Tuesday through Wednesday. We will start to dry out Thursday into the end of next week with more sunshine and hopefully more spring weather!
