Drier weather is coming, but flooding effects are likely to continue for days across portions of western Washington state and northwestern Oregon.

While the torrential downpour caused by an atmospheric river has slowed down, rivers and waterways continue to rise and flood in the state.

Hundreds of thousands are without power in western Washington after a windstorm swept into the state, following over a week of devastating heavy rains and flooding.

A foot and a half of rain pushed the water levels of at least four rivers in Washington, including the Skagit River, to hit record highs, surpassing some of their previous records set over 35 years ago.

Days of torrential rain in western Washington caused historic floods that stranded families on rooftops, washed over bridges, and damaged homes.

A levee was breached on the rising Green River early Monday afternoon, just east of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in western Washington, as another atmospheric river dumps rain over the Pacific Northwest.

As Tuesday afternoon fell across Western Washington, the skies darkened and heavy rain again poured down on a saturated landscape unable to handle even more precipitation that had already resulted in historic flooding throughout the region.

After last week's record river flooding in Washington state, more atmospheric rivers are taking aim at the West this, set to bring heavy rain, mountain snow to Oregon and California, too.
