Upwards of 3" of rain in the lowlands of Western Washington remainder of the work week (more in the mountains) will force rivers back above flood stage by Thursday and Friday. The Snoqualmie and Tolt rivers are expected to reach major flood stage once again. #wawx pic.twitter.com/mkloAzX1od

By Wednesday night, the snow level is expected to rise to between 4,000 and 6,000 feet in the Cascades and between 6,000 and 7,000 feet in the Olympics, forecasters said.

We’ll dry things out over the weekend, but a few showers will remain -- especially on Saturday.

Sunday and Monday we should see sunny skies.
