Flood Warning (NWS Pendelton)
Increased runoff from snowmelt will cause the Naches River near Naches Washington to rise above flood stage after midnight tonight. The river is expected to continue rising, reaching 18.1 feet by Friday Afternoon. This will cause minor flooding along the river from Naches to Yakima. The fast moving water is very cold and banks of the river may be unstable and eroded. Stay away from the edge of the river, even a short time in the cold water could cause hypothermia.
