Another atmospheric river will bring more rain to the Pacific Northwest later this week, heightening an extensive flood threat.

Beyond dam breaches near Seattle, the barrage of atmospheric rivers in recent days has increased the threat of flooding and landslides in the region. Residents should pay attention to the National Weather Service and local authorities throughout the week for guidance and information.

Over 200 households in Pacific were affected by flooding along the White River after a flood barrier breach, Mayor Vic Kave said in a news conference Tuesday evening.

"The early storm will not be as strong as the event we saw early last week, though it will impact the same areas," a meteorologist told Newsweek.

Washington state residents are bracing for possible mudslides and levee failures from floodwaters that are expected to be slow to recede.

Drier weather is coming, but flooding effects are likely to continue for days across portions of western Washington state and northwestern Oregon.

With more precipitation moving into Western Washington, three rivers may once again flood: the Snohomish, Skagit and Snoqualmie.

While the torrential downpour caused by an atmospheric river has slowed down, rivers and waterways continue to rise and flood in the state.

Roads and bridges in western Montana were wiped out by powerful flooding last week after some areas saw around half a foot of rain. Rapid snowmelt added to the runoff, sending water rushing into creeks and rivers.

At least one person has died after a second round of heavy rain hit the region, with levee failures prompting more evacuations.
