An atmospheric river has caused heavy rainfall, flooding, and unusually warm temperatures in the Pacific Northwest.
Over 17 million people are under flood alerts due to the atmospheric river.
The town of Forks saw its rainfall record for December 4 more than double.
The Pacific Northwest is currently experiencing heavy rainfall and flooding due to an atmospheric river. This weather phenomenon has led to the closure of rail links, schools, and roads, and has necessitated the rescue of five individuals by the U.S. Coast Guard. The atmospheric river has also brought unseasonably warm temperatures to the region, with daily rainfall and temperature records being shattered in Washington state.
The town of Forks, known as the rainiest town in the contiguous U.S., saw its rainfall record for December 4 more than double. Parts of a popular Seattle trail were closed due to a landslide, and heavy rains also affected parts of Oregon, leading to school closures and road disruptions. Travel has been challenging due to poor visibility and excess water on the roads.
In addition to the heavy rainfall, the region has also experienced unusually warm temperatures. Walla Walla in southwestern Washington reached 64 degrees Fahrenheit. The small town of Forks on the Olympic Peninsula received 4.7 inches of rain in 24 hours, more than doubling its rainfall record for December 4.
The atmospheric river has resulted in over 17 million people being under flood alerts, and has unfortunately led to two deaths. The National Weather Service predicts several inches of rainfall over the next few days, which could exacerbate the flooding potential. Some experts suggest that climate change is contributing to the intensity of atmospheric rivers and extreme weather fluctuations.
