Showers will continue Thursday and Friday with high elevation mountain snow. Snow levels will continue to rise to above 5000' by Friday, keeping any major impacts away from the mountain passes for travelers. We will be watching for any potential flooding of area rivers, mostly like the Skokomish in Mason County.
