Flash flood watch issued for Bolt Creek fire burn scar area
INDEX — The National Weather Service issued a flash flood watch on Monday for eastern Snohomish County amid excessive rainfall.
Up to half an inch of rain per hour is forecast near the Bolt Creek fire burn scar, including around Index, Baring, Grotto and Skykomish, the weather service said in a memo. Darrington and other eastern areas of the county are also under the flood watch.
“Heavy rainfall could trigger flash flooding of low-lying areas, urbanized street flooding, and debris flows in and near recent wildfire burn scars,” the weather service said.
The flash flood watch is in effect through Tuesday afternoon.
