A powerful winter storm brewing near the Pacific Northwest known as a bomb cyclone is dragging an atmospheric river.

Strong winds will trigger a High Wind Warning and Wind Advisory for Western Washington Tuesday afternoon through early Wednesday morning. The strongest winds will be along the coast, Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Cascade Foothills with gusts up to 65 mph possible. The rest of the Puget Sound will be breezy, with gusts around 45-50 mph.

Over a month’s worth of rain, hurricane-force wind gusts and feet of mountain snow are coming to parts of the Pacific Northwest and Northern California.
