NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPOKANE, WA
1208 PM PDT Wed May 31 2017

...The National Weather Service in Spokane has issued a flood warning
for the following rivers and lakes in Washington...

  Kettle River near Ferry above Curlew AFFECTING Ferry County

Recent warm weather has produced rises on the Kettle River. The
river will likely approach the flood stage of 18.5 feet late this
afternoon or early this evening. Additional rises will be possible
Thursday and Friday with runoff from showers and thunderstorms which
will have the potential to keep the river above flood stage into
Saturday.


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Additional information is available at:
http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/index.php?wfo=otx

Be aware of large debris in the river. High water levels can push 
logs and other large debris into the river...increasing the danger to
people and boats.

Never drive cars...Trucks or sport utility vehicles through flooded 
areas. The water may be too deep to allow for safe passage. As little
as one foot of water on the road can move most vehicles off the road.

...The flood warning is cancelled for the following rivers and lakes 
in Washington...

  Methow River near Pateros affecting Okanogan County

...The flood warning continues for the following rivers and lakes in 
Washington...

  Kettle River near Ferry above Curlew affecting Ferry County
  Stehekin River at Stehekin affecting Chelan County
  Okanogan River near Tonasket affecting Okanogan County

...Recent warm temperatures have exacerbated high elevation
snowmelt in the Washington Cascades leading to flooding of some
area rivers...

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Additional information is available at:
http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/index.php?wfo=otx

The spring snow melt runoff in lakes and rivers is dangerously cold 
and can be life threatening for those that come into contact with the
water. Take appropriate precautions.

Be aware of large debris in the river. High water levels can push 
logs and other large debris into the river...increasing the danger to
people and boats.

Never drive cars...Trucks or sport utility vehicles through flooded 
areas. The water may be too deep to allow for safe passage. As little
as one foot of water on the road can move most vehicles off the road.

The spring snow melt runoff in lakes and rivers is dangerously cold 
and can be life threatening for those that come into contact with the
water. Take appropriate precautions.

Be aware of large debris in the river. High water levels can push 
logs and other large debris into the river...increasing the danger to
people and boats.

Never drive cars...Trucks or sport utility vehicles through flooded 
areas. The water may be too deep to allow for safe passage. As little
as one foot of water on the road can move most vehicles off the road.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Spokane, WA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at May 31, 10:27 AM PDT, 1 hour 41 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 31, 10:27 AM PDT, 1 hour 41 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Spokane WA
1027 AM PDT Wed May 31 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Unsettled but near seasonal temperatures are expected through the
end of the work week. There is a chance of showers, with
afternoon and early evening mainly mountain thunderstorms
possible. Rises on rivers from the Cascades into north Idaho will
continue due to warm conditions. The weather pattern will be quite
progressive through the weekend and into the middle of next week
as a couple of weather disturbances are expected to move through
the region.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Updated the forecast to increase sky cover and pops for today and
tonight. Continued weak low pressure lingering over the forecast
area along with a good amount of moisture with some instability
and disturbances moving up from the south will keep the forecast
unsettled. /Pelatti

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z TAFS: Weak low pressure lingering over the aviation area with
a somewhat unstable airmass coupled with weak disturbances running
up from the south will support the mention of convection in the
form of showers today and tonight. Some afternoon and evening
thunderstorms may occur as well. Additional disturbances moving up
from the south will produce more convection tomorrow. /Pelatti
