Widespread gusty winds are expected late tonight into Monday, with gusts above 45 mph possible, so be sure to secure any loose outdoor items. There is heightened concern for landslides and trees being blown down given the very saturated soils. #WAwx

More rain is in the forecast for the first half of next week so this is a good time to remind everyone that floodwaters can hide all sorts of dangers. These dangers can include sewage, live electrical lines, and dangerous chemicals and bacteria. Stay out of floodwaters! #WAwx

Additional atmospheric rivers are expected to impact the West later this month. Given the significant river flooding already impacting Washington and Oregon, a continued risk of flooding and landslides is expected across the region through at least late December.

72 hour rainfall totals greater than an inch ending early this morning. You'll notice how much of Seattle has been shadowed. But when westerly winds slam warm, moisture laden air into mountains, you end up with 3 day totals of 12 to 16 inches. Yes, more than a foot or rain. #wawx

The atmospheric river has shifted southward this morning, but we're not out of the woods just yet. Precipitation will shift back northward later today, bringing another round of heavy rainfall and causing significant river flooding to continue. #WAwx
