The next system arrives Saturday morning, bringing with it more moisture.

We could see could see 1 to 2 inches of rain in the Puget Sound area, and even more in other areas.

The National Weather Service predicts 1 to 2 inches of rain in the Seattle metro area, 2 to 4 inches in the Olympics and north Cascades, and 4 to 7 inches in the central and south Cascades.

A Flood Watch is in effect from Saturday through Sunday afternoon. It includes the following counties: Clallam, Grays Harbor, Jefferson, Kitsap, Mason, Skagit, King, Lewis, Pierce, Snohomish, and Thurston.

National Weather Service Meteorologist Dana Felton says the heaviest rain will hit Saturday night.

This storm will be different than the one that knocked out power to thousands mid-week.

“Round three looks like the wettest as far as rainfall totals go. But wind wise, it doesn’t look as windy,” Felton said.

The storm will taper off Sunday.

“The city rain will give way on Sunday to just showers in the afternoon.”
