Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA stationary trough of low pressure off the Pacific Northwest Coast steered a deep fetch of subtropical moisture over the Cascade Mountains from March 29th through the 31st. This resulted in several rounds of moderate to heavy rainfall mainly near the immediate crest. Mild temperatures and breezy winds accompanying the subtropical moisture feed resulted in excessive mid-elevation snowmelt. Consequently, saturated soils became unstable in some locations resulting in small debris flows.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeMultiple debris slides occurred along Highway 2 between mile markers 99 and 84. |The largest slide, which occurred in the Tumwater Canyon, was six to eight feet deep. Three-day rainfall amounts near the debris slides ranged from two to five inches. Highway 2 was closed from March 31st through April 3rd.
