00:00After a break from the rain in the northwest this weekend, we have a stormy week ahead, and that means more flooding.

00:07Take a look at the rainfall over the next seven days.

00:10You can see two epicenters of rain early this weekend in the midweek across western Washington and later this week in the western Oregon.

00:18Now, for this week, we're tracking three storms, one leaving today, another one just off the Washington coast.

00:26That will be arriving Tuesday night into Wednesday, and then take a look at the storm in northern Alaska.

00:32That will be arriving as we head into Thursday.

00:35These are going to be much colder storms, by the way, but they have a lot of moisture with them.

00:40So once again, there's going to be the threat for flooding.

00:43A lot of the rivers have gone down in the minor flood stage.

00:46They will be going back up in the major flood stage by Friday.

00:50As I mentioned, much different storms, though they're colder, which means snow starts to become a huge problem.

00:59First, in the Washington Cascades Tuesday into Thursday, and then the Oregon Cascades later in the week.

01:07And through those passes, especially in the Washington Passes, we'll be measuring the snow in feet.
