West Coast Braces for Powerful Bomb Cyclone
A bomb cyclone, intensifying through the process of bombogenesis, is set to impact the West Coast this week, with high winds, heavy rain, and snowfall forecasted for regions including California, Oregon, and Washington. This storm, powered by an atmospheric river, will bring severe weather conditions starting Tuesday and continuing throughout the week. British Columbia could see wind speeds over 120 km/h, while California and Oregon may face rain-induced flash flooding and mudslides. Washington State might experience damaging winds and blizzard conditions in mountainous areas, raising concerns about power outages and structural damage. Residents are urged to prepare for potential impacts and monitor updates.
