The National Weather Service is promising to beef up its efforts to predict heavy rains and possible flooding for the Green River Valley south of Seattle.
A weakened earthen embankment at Howard Hanson Dam has increased the risk of flooding this winter in the valley south of Seattle.
Washington Democratic Sen. Maria Cantwell says National Weather Service Director Jack Hayes has agreed to provide additional forecasting equipment and earlier and more frequent weather forecasts to give local officials and residents more time to plan for a flood. The agency also will bring in extra staffers to help out during major storms in the state.
