On December 9, many of the local rivers reached or exceeded Phase 4 flood gauges. An additional band of hazardous weather conditions is anticipated through December 11, likely adding significant amounts of rainfall to an already impacted river ecosystem of the North, Middle and South Fork Snoqualmie River.
