Winter storm train to hammer northwestern US well into January 2020
Unrelenting storms will pound the northwestern United States well into 2020 and escalate the risk of flash flooding, mudslides and avalanches as ski resorts continue to be bombarded with heavy snow.
"Expect rounds of strong winds from the storms with the potential for power outages," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Brian Thompson said.
"Snow levels will vary with each storm," Thompson said. "At times rain may reach to pass levels, and at other times, snow may dip to just above sea level through next week."
The main thrust of the storms through this weekend will focus on British Columbia and western Washington. A general 3-6 inches (80-150 millimeters) of rain will fall, but an AccuWeather Local StormMax™ of 12 inches (300 millimeters) is likely on the west-facing slopes of the Olympics, Cascades and Coast Mountains.
