Another atmospheric river is headed to Western Washington

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Another atmospheric river is set to soak the Puget Sound area Monday night through Wednesday, marking at least the sixth time in just under two months that the weather event has occurred in Western Washington.

The weather equivalent of a fire hose, an atmospheric river is a concentrated corridor of moisture that shoots wetness into an area for an extended period of time. The region saw four such events in a span of about two weeks during November, and a fifth pummeled the area late last week.

The National Weather Service in Seattle expects between 5 and 10 inches of rain to fall in areas close to the Olympic Mountains by Wednesday. Another 3 to 5 inches will shower areas in the northern Cascade Mountains during that same time. Areas in the central and southern Cascades can expect between 2 and 4 inches of rain.

As with the previous atmospheric rivers, severe flooding is expected.

1. Oh for fuck sakes

I'm North of there. We've already got so much snow we don't know what to do with it. The condos I patrol have mountains of snow two storeys tall.

2. You have GOT to be kidding

don't know how much more of this stuff I can stand. I have never seen weather like this in over 30 years - there is standing water in all the fields and it's like walking on a sponge in your yard. STOP already!
