Weather Forecast: Powerful “Superstorm” to slam the Pacific Northwest

(TheWeatherSpace.com) – A strong surface low will develop in the Pacific Ocean, aided by a powerful upper level jet that will bring gusty winds, severe thunderstorms, and even a tornado chance to the Pacific Northwest later this weekend into next week. 

It is the season for ‘bomb’ type systems. ‘Bombs’ is a weather term for rapidly deepening low pressure at the surface and this is what is scheduled for Sunday or Monday across the Pacific Northwest

As of right now the probability of damaging winds for inland areas would depend on the low’s track, but to be conservative I will keep the damaging winds along the coast, where less friction resides. Anyone living on the coast of Washington and Oregon will need to keep tuned to further updates here at TWS and on the Pacific Northwest Facebook Page below.

Because of the deeper moisture available, colder mid-level temperatures, excellent upper level jet dynamics. and winds backing in the lower levels, have decided to put the mention in here of the chance of severe thunderstorms, including isolated tornadoes with this system.

Locations are not certain with the small-scale features but this system will closely be monitored here at TheWeatherSpace.com.

The storm moves northeast into Canada from there and another frontal zone quickly moves hit next week.

This “bomb” is the signal to ‘spin’ the atmosphere into the new season.
