Bomb Cyclone and Atmospheric River Batter Pacific Northwest with Power Outages and Severe Weather
TL;DR Summary
A bomb cyclone hit the Pacific Northwest, causing blizzard-like conditions in the Cascades, power outages for over 500,000 people, and strong winds up to 69 mph. The storm, which rapidly intensified by dropping 60 millibars in 24 hours, led to a fatality in Lynnwood and disrupted travel. Although the cyclone is expected to weaken offshore, a second similar system may follow later in the week, potentially bringing more severe weather to the region.
