Heavy Rain, Snow, and Arctic Chill Set to Hit Multiple States
• Heavy rain and potential flooding expected in southwest Washington and near Portland/Vancouver, with coastal areas possibly seeing 4-7 inches of rain.
• Over a foot of snow forecast for higher elevations in the Cascades and Northern Rockies.
• Arctic air surge to bring freezing temperatures to the Midwest and East Coast, with some areas dropping below zero; potential for a stronger East Coast storm around December 12.
Severe weather: rain, snow, and arctic chill
Multiple states across the US are bracing for a trifecta of severe weather conditions: heavy rain, significant snowfall, and an arctic chill. The Pacific Northwest is expected to experience substantial rainfall, with southwest Washington and areas near Portland and Vancouver potentially seeing up to 2.5 inches of rain, leading to scattered flooding. Coastal communities in these regions may face even higher rainfall totals, ranging from 4 to 7 inches.
