Chelan County in north central Washington...

* until 300 am PST Friday

* at 300 PM PST Wednesday... rapid rises were reported near the
community of Cashmere at the confluence of Mission Creek and
Peshastin Creek. County officials and property owners have begun
sandbagging along portions of the affected creeks. County officials
also report that a portion of Highway 97 near mile marker 175 has
been closed due to flooding or flowing debris.

* This Flood Warning replaces the flood advisory for Chelan County.

Other small streams in Chelan County are expected to run high
through Friday due to a combination of runoff from heavy rain along
the Cascade crest and melting snow.

Rain will continue to along the Cascade crest today... tonight... and
tomorrow morning. Additional rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches are
likely along the Cascade crest by Thursday morning. Rainfall will
be significantly less for communities east of the crest. Places east
of Leavenworth... Stehekin... and Winthrop will likely receive an inch
or less of rain between Wednesday afternoon and Thursday afternoon.

A Flood Warning means that flooding is imminent or has been reported.
Stream rises will be slow and flash flooding is not expected.
However... all interested parties should take necessary precautions
immediately.

Do not drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the
roadway. The water depth may be too great to allow your car to cross
safely. Move to higher ground.

To report flooding... have the nearest law enforcement agency relay
your report to the National Weather Service forecast office.
