116 AGUS74 KWCO 311506 HMDNWC National Hydrologic Discussion - EXPERIMENTAL NWS National Water Center - Tuscaloosa AL 1006 AM CDT FRI OCT 31 2025 .Synopsis... Isolated flooding impacts possible for the Pacific Northwest through Saturday... Prolonged heavy rainfall event upcoming for the Mariana Islands... .Pacific Northwest... Periods of moderate rainfall are expected through Saturday (day 2) across western WA. This could lead to isolated urban and small stream flooding impacts, in addition to isolated minor mainstem river flooding on rivers draining the Olympics and western slopes of the Cascades in WA (NWRFC, HEFS). Peak flows on most rivers are expected Saturday (day 2). Top layer (0 - 10 cm) soils are moist (NASA SPoRT) and streamflows are running normal to above normal (USGS) both in response to recent rainfall across the region, increasing confidence in sufficient runoff for isolated nuisance flooding impacts. A brief period of dry weather is expected across the region ahead of the next surge of moisture across WA, OR, and northern CA mid next week, which could bring a renewed flooding threat to the region, but details are highly uncertain. .Mariana Islands... A prolonged heavy rainfall event is possible late this weekend into next week for Guam, Rota, Tinian, and Saipan. Rainfall totals could exceed 3 - 7", which is expected to produce minor flooding impacts across the islands, with flash flooding possible across Guam.
