Monarch Weather & Climate Intelligence?

A powerful bomb cyclone is slamming the Pacific Northwest, bringing damaging winds, heavy rain, and significant mountain snow. Gusts of 50-70 mph have already knocked out power to over 200,000 in King County, WA, including Seattle. Flood risks are escalating, with a moderate risk today upgrading to high tomorrow. Widespread rainfall of 5-10 inches is expected, with isolated totals reaching 15-20 inches, particularly in cities like Eureka, Redding, and Crescent City. In the mountains, several feet of snow are forecast above 4,000 feet. MonarchView’s 3D Snow Forecast Mapping provides detailed insights into snow accumulation across various elevations, helping to identify high-risk zones. Businesses in the Pacific NW should prepare for disruptions, including supply chain delays, power outages, and infrastructure challenges from flooding and snow. #ConsultMonarch ??

These storms will weaken during the mid-morning hour, but a second round of severe storms will be possible this afternoon across Louisiana. #ConsultMonarch??
