A series of storms will wallop the Pacific Northwest into next week, AccuWeather experts say, with the potential for flooding downpours and wind damage, especially near the coast.A winterlike pattern will usher several plumes of moisture into the Northwest through the weekend, resulting in disruptions to outdoor plans and the risk of flooding.
Because the storms will be flush with moisture from the Pacific Ocean, at least several inches of rain are in the forecast, starting with the first storm that arrived on Wednesday. An atmospheric river, which is a long plume of moisture that originates from the tropics to the subtropics or mid-latitudes, will set up. This weather phenomenon can lead to torrential rainfall and flooding in extreme cases.
"An active jet stream will bring this parade of storms to the Northwest as we start November," said AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Heather Zehr. "Moisture will be plentiful with the first storm as it moves through Washington and Oregon into Thursday night," said Zehr. Damp and dreary weather is likely to linger into Sunday which could once again bog down outdoor activities. Motorists should allow for extra time and take it slow due to the expectation that water will pond on highways in the most heavily-traveled locations.
