A strong storm is approaching the Northwest, bringing heavy rain and damaging winds to Washington, Oregon, California, and Montana. This follows a weekend storm fueled by an atmospheric river, resulting in significant rainfall and flooding in coastal areas. Forecasts predict additional rainfall between three to eight inches in lower elevations and over 16 inches in mountainous regions, prompting flood alerts. Meteorologists highlight the risk of river flooding and severe wind gusts up to 80 mph. Concerns remain high as the storm persists, affecting travel and power stability across five states.
Meteorologists warned parts of Washington, Oregon, California, and Montana could see flash floods, toppled trees, and power outages due to an incoming storm.
As a result, concerns for river flooding remain high, especially with the previous week's snow melting and contributing to runoff.
Various flood alerts have been issued across the five states in the storm's path, including in major cities such as Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon.
The Pacific Northwest is not getting a chance to breathe amid this active atmospheric river pattern.
