A Flash Flood Watch is in effect for Thursday evening for areas in and around the Archie Creek and Thielsen fires.

An update from the National Weather Service said locally heavy rain is possible across the Cascades and Cascade foothills.

Locations such as Glide and sections of Highway 138 near the Archie Creek Fire and the area around Diamond Lake will be exposed to debris potential.

The Watch said debris flows are possible. People, structures and roads located below steep slopes, in canyons and near the mouths of canyons may be at serious risk for debris.
