This heavy rain could push Nooksack to near flood stage in Whatcom

Heavy rain forecast for the next few days could send torrents of snowmelt into the Nooksack River, causing it to approach flood stage this weekend.

One week into June, Bellingham has already received a month鈥檚 worth of rain 鈥 and more is on the way, according to the most recent forecasts from the National Weather Service in Seattle.

鈥淩ainy weather is likely late in the week with several inches of rain a good bet in the mountains. Several rivers might get up near flood stage, which is unusual for June,鈥 said meteorologist Kayla Mazurkiewicz in the online forecast discussion Monday, June 6.

Normal June rainfall is 1.61 inches, and 1.51 inches of rain had fallen at Bellingham International Airport through Sunday, June 5.
