Atmospheric River to Bring Heavy Rain and Flooding to Western Washington

A series of weather events including an atmospheric river, high winds, and heavy rain are causing flooding, landslides, and power outages in Western Washington. While rivers are receding, upcoming storms will raise some to moderate flood levels, and strong winds may cause additional outages. A shift to cooler, snowy weather is expected mid-week, bringing winter conditions and a potential white Christmas, with mountain snow accumulating and rivers finally receding.
