The evacuation order was sent to about 1,100 homes and businesses east of the Green River in parts of Kent, Renton and Tukwila.

The Seattle area will see another round of gusty winds and rain, with snow in the Cascade Mountains and freezing rain in the mountain passes.

Seattle is facing severe weather with flood watches, landslide risks, and strong winds as per the National Weather Service.

Cloudy skies will dominate through midday before rain redevelops in the afternoon. Temperatures are expected to peak near 52 degrees around 4 p.m., though it will feel closer to the mid-40s. Winds will shift to the south-southwest and strengthen, with gusts potentially reaching 33 mph late in the afternoon as fans arrive at the stadium.

Water that had been rising steadily for days turned suddenly violent when a key flood barrier along the Green River failed, sending a fast-moving surge into low-lying neighborhoods and industrial strips south of Seattle.
