The Big Blow Along the Oregon Coast, Heavy Rain over Washington, and the Winds of Pacific Cyclones

Weather with Cliff Mass - A podcast by Cliff Mass

A strong low-pressure center will cross the northern Oregon coast on Sunday morning, with powerful winds to the south.  But it will be hardly windy in nearby Washington State.  Why?  I will explain in this podcast and talk about the huge differences in winds for different sections of Pacific cyclones.    And then there is precipitation.  Monday will bring an atmospheric river, with heavy rain and snow in our mountains.  Details in the podcast.
