One Last Storm for the Northwest Heading Into a Drier Weekend

The storm-weary Pacific Northwest is finally going to see a break in the action. Forecasters are offering hope that the persistent train of storms that has barreled through the Northwest and Northern California is coming to a stop just in time for the weekend. Here is a look at what this region can look forward to after getting through the last wave of moisture.

One Last Storm Taking Aim at the Northwest Before Relief Arrives

It has been a volatile stretch of weather in the Northwest and Northern California. Torrential rain and gusty conditions impacted a large swath of land stretching from British Columbia, Canada, through Washington, Oregon, and Northern California. Relief is on the way; however, the region must get through one more storm event at the end of the week first.

The latest storm system sent winds to gusts of 75 mph in Reno, Nevada, and Klamath Falls, Oregon. A top gust of 69 mph was notched at the Siskiyou County Airport in California. Rainfall totals over the two-day period ending midday Wednesday boasted totals of 2.73 inches in Florence, Oregon. It was only slightly less soggy to the south in Crescent City, California, with 2.43 inches recorded before the sun went down on Wednesday.
