Stormy Weather to Hit Pacific Northwest This Week
A strong low-pressure system is forming in the Gulf of Alaska, set to bring an atmospheric river to the Pacific Northwest starting Thursday. According to the FOX Forecast Center, this weather pattern will drive a series of storms through Western Canada and into Washington and Oregon. The region will experience heavy rain, strong winds, and mountain snow, particularly in the Cascade region. Precipitation totals are expected to reach 1–2 inches in cities like Seattle, Tacoma, and Bellingham, with up to 5 inches in the Olympic Mountains. Snowfall will be limited to higher elevations, with up to 6 inches possible in the Cascades. This active weather pattern is expected to persist into next week, bringing additional storms and wet conditions to the area. Source time: not specified.
