Flood Watch To Replace Winter Warning On Friday

Higher temperatures and rain in the forecast could lead to minor flooding. King County Road Crews continue to clear the road of snow and debris.

Get ready for a balmy 45-degree day. That’s 15 degrees warmer than Thursday’s high of 30.

A flood watch will replace Thursday's and the winter weather advisory that is set to expire at 10 a.m.

Forecasts call for possible flooding as the area warms, thawing nearly a week’s worth of snow and ice accumulations.
