West Coast Storm Train Is Coming: 7 Days of Snow & 70 MPH Winds (Nov 6–12)

West Coast Storm Train Is Coming: 7 Days of Snow & 70 MPH Winds (Nov 6–12) A powerful North Pacific storm train is lining up to hit the West Coast from Friday, November 6th through Thursday, November 12th. NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center has flagged two dangers at once: a slight risk of heavy snow for the Cascade Range and Klamath Mountains, and a slight risk of high winds for coastal Washington, Oregon, and California down to Cape Mendocino, with gusts that could reach 55 to 70 mph. In this video, we break down: Why a record-level marine heat wave is fueling these storms What an atmospheric river is and why it can carry 7 to 15 times the water of the Mississippi River Why Snoqualmie Pass, Stevens Pass, Mount Hood, and I-5 could see heavy, wet “cement snow” Which coastal towns face the strongest winds, from Neah Bay to Cape Mendocino The rain shadow secret: why one town gets buried while another stays sunny How El Niño and the warm Pacific fit into the bigger picture 4 simple steps to prepare before the first gust arrives Forecasts can change quickly.
