Nooksack of particular concern: River Forecast Centre

David Campbell with the River Forecast Centre says rivers are expected to rise through the day and could reach peak levels today or even tomorrow for some of the larger waterways.

The Nooksack in Washington is of particular concern because of the floods that happened during an atmospheric river in 2021

Right now, the Nooksack is expected to peak at 148.5 feet.

Currently the river is at about 146.3 feet at Everson, Wash., where the overflow takes place, Campbell said.

In 2021, the river rose to 150.3 feet.

Campbell said it’s not likely the river will rise to that level again, but forecasters are monitoring conditions.
