The National Weather Service has cancelled the flood watch, according to Lewis County Emergency Management.

Heavy rains mid-week prompted the watch, in particular on waterways running off the Cascade Mountains. The Cowlitz River crested two feet below flood stage, according to Emergency Management.

March ended with the second highest rainfall in Lewis County since 1890 – recorded at 9.93 inches, according to a news release.

Forecasts are for modest showers through the weekend.
