A levee was breached on the rising Green River early Monday afternoon, just east of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in western Washington, as another atmospheric river dumps rain over the Pacific Northwest.

While the torrential downpour caused by an atmospheric river has slowed down, rivers and waterways continue to rise and flood in the state.

The National Weather Service issued a flood watch for Seattle, Washington, and its surrounding areas following the breach of the Green River Levee. The service warned that life-threatening conditions may be experienced in Kent,

Washington state residents are bracing for possible mudslides and levee failures from floodwaters that are expected to be slow to recede.

Rivers continued rising to the north and east of Seattle after record rains washed out highways and prompted evacuation warnings for more than 100,000 people.

Drier weather is coming, but flooding effects are likely to continue for days across portions of western Washington state and northwestern Oregon.

"The only clothes I got is just my pajamas," 7-year-old Jocelyn Rosas told CBS News' Carter Evans, as flooding devastated parts of Washington state.

After heavy rains swelled rivers and flooded neighborhoods in northern Washington, residents returned to soggy homes caked in mud. Many tried to salvage what they could.
