TThe skies might be blue right now, but get prepared for a real ‘doozy’ of a storm.
This is from a weather blog that I follow (http://cliffmass.blogspot.com/2016/10/warming-major-storms-threaten-pacific.html):
“Starting Thursday, we will enter a period of extraordinarily active weather with the potential for heavy rain, flooding, and a highly dangerous windstorm with the potential to be an historic event. The coastal waters and shoreline areas could well experience hurricane-force gusts, with a lesser but serious threat for strong winds over the interior. Keep in mind that there is still uncertainty in the forecasts, more so for the wind than the rain.
“Now in most years, the events along would be impressive, representing one of the strongest events of a typical winter season. But folks, this is just a warm up for the real action on Saturday.
“A true monster storm, potentially as strong as the most powerful storm in NW history (the Columbus Day Storm of 1962) will be approaching our area on Saturday. “
Be prepared and get ready to ‘hunker down’.
