Extreme Weather for Oct 28th



Good evening,
After having been slammed by a storm that producing hurricane force wind gusts and left thousands without power, the Pacific Northwest will be in for another system which promises to bring very similar conditions to the area.

This new system, the result of the merging of the remnants of Ana along with another storm brewing in the Pacific Ocean, will produce drenching downpours and wind gusts strong enough to bring down trees which may result in more power outages from the northwestern US coast into British Columbia. Flooding will also be of concern thro
ugh the Pacific NW as this area has already received a great amount of moisture over the past week.

Other unwelcomed concerns will include wind gusts along the coast which are expected to surpass 60 mph with gust reaching 50 mph further inland. Travel delays will also be seen through many major airports through at least Wednesday when calmer weather is forecast to move in. The quieter weather will, however, be short lived as more rain is expected by the end of the work week.

Tropics:

After having been upgraded to tropical storm status, Hanna has weakened to a tropical depression as it continues to move further inland over Nicaragua and Honduras this evening. Currently moving west at 35 mph, Hanna will continue to produce heavy downpours with 12 to 15 inches possible through portions of Central America producing flash floods as well as mudslides. 

Enjoy your day,
Jen Gonzalez
