A bomb cyclone is expected to hit the Pacific Coast, bringing strong winds and potential flooding to the Puget Sound area, with gusts reaching up to 70 mph offshore and 65 mph inland. Mount Rainier faces a blizzard warning with up to a foot of snow and 60 mph winds. While the system could cause minor to moderate flooding, heavy rains like those in 2022 are not anticipated. The worst winds are expected to impact Vancouver Island, with conditions easing by Wednesday.
