Seattle braces for 6-day rain deluge

• The heaviest rainfall is expected early next week when the atmospheric rivers arrive, Guy told Axios.

By the numbers: Seattle could see up to 4 inches of rain over the next six days while the Cascade and Olympic mountains could get up to 10 inches, per the weather service.

Threat level: Gusty winds, "astronomically high tides" and the possibility of rapidly rising rivers have forecasters watching for coastal flooding, interior river flooding and landslides, Guy said.

• Snow levels will hover around 4,000–5,000 feet to start, rising toward 6,000 feet early next week, meaning mostly rain at the passes.
