A beast of a storm: The most powerful storm since last winter about to slam into Pacific Northwest
There is a huge storm engulfing the Pacific Northwest right now, and scientists forecast it will be the first significant storm since last winter, triggering a broad range of hazards.
“It will be a beast of a storm,†Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski said… and it could end up being one of the most intense of the entire wet season.
The first rain drops arrived from Seattle to Portland on Thursday evening, and precipitation continued to push farther inland through Thursday night and Friday morning. As the precipitation encountered colder air in the higher elevations, snow began falling in the Washington Cascades.
Snow levels that were initially around 4,000 feet on Thursday night will fall to around 2,000 feet during the day Friday as a cold front associated with the area of low pressure moving ashore brings lower temperatures.
Some passes are already closed for the winter season, but those that remain open will be snow-packed and slippery as snow piles up through the day Friday.
