Atmospheric river soaks Pacific Northwest with record-breaking rain and unusually warm temperatures

The U.S. Coast Guard rescued five people from flooded areas as an atmospheric river brought heavy rain, flooding and unseasonably warm temperatures to the Pacific Northwest.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — An atmospheric river has brought heavy rain, flooding and warm winter temperatures to the Pacific Northwest, closing rail links, schools and roads as it shattered daily rainfall and temperature records in Washington state.

Amtrak said Tuesday that no passenger trains will be running between Seattle and Portland, Oregon, until Thursday because of a landslide. The National Weather Service issued flood warnings in parts of western Washington, including in areas north and east of Seattle and across a large swath of the Olympic Peninsula.

The wet conditions also brought warm temperatures to the region. At 64 Fahrenheit (17.8 Celsius) in Walla Walla in southwestern Washington, it was as warm as parts of Florida and Mexico, according to the NWS. Seattle reported 59 degrees F (15 C) at 1 a.m. Tuesday morning, breaking its previous daily record high, the weather service said.

Global warming? Not to worry as Exxon-Mobil has our best interests at heart.

My late grandmother told me about how cold it was in the late 19th & early 20th centuries when autos were not so common. Cars drove across the East River in NYC & between Rye & Glen Cove, NY across Long Island Sound. We'll never see those days again.

It's just as well. They need the rain in Washington, Oregon and northern Idaho.

 

[multivita-man]

Yeah that storm is going to potentially lead to some rough weather once it passes over the Rockies.

Since they invented a name for a rain storm its been non stop..........publicity.

I'm in the middle of this catastrophe. I have just returned from a walk to the store & back without using an umbrella.

It was rainy all day yesterday, not unusual for this time of year.

But in the end this is no ****ing different, if anything a far more mild winter than I've seen in 48 years!

I'm sorry Amtrak suffered a land slide, but hey, it IS Amtrak.

Believe me, I've seen a **** of a lot worse, rain coming down so hard you'd think god is standing with a fire hose aimed straight down. Rain drops have been known to leave dents in cars and crack glass.

I live four minutes from the beach. I checked the high high tide this morning, it's high all right but I've seen higher, a lot higher.

What's different is there is no wind...to speak of. Normally these 'mashers' roll in behind 50 to 70 km winds which pushes the surf up into the park, eroding soil around trees.

Another wave is set to hit tonight. Tomorrow will be the best fishing all year, the crabs will be out in thousands.

Check your life preservers. And practice treading water.

The recent flood in S FL: I asked a guy who lived there what happened. He said it only rained for 5 minutes.

Yeah, that happens.

What I'm saying is its not that unusual HERE.

We're used tom it

It's a lot. I-5 was closed in parts from flooding, and I had to drive through 8 inches of standing water locally getting my wife home from the hospital last night, where we get rain all the time.

More Fake News by leftist propagandists, as expected.

No temperature records were broken, despite the lies of leftist filth. It also demonstrates that leftist filth can't tell the difference between weather and climate. You can always depend on the truly ignorant to proudly display their stupidity, as the above post clearly demonstrates.

Stop lying. If you still can.

"Both Portland and Seattle registered new high temperature records during the storm. Portland topped out at 65 degrees Fahrenheit (18 degrees Celsius) on December 4, setting a record for that date and tying the December all-time high temperature record. Seattle hit 59°F (15°C) in the early hours of December 5, topping that date’s previous record of 58°F (14°C) from 2020."

Rain does not leave dents in cars or crack glass, but hail will. When I lived in Nebraska I saw plenty of hail storms with hail the size of softballs. They not only destroyed vehicles, but also roofs on homes. The mid-west gets some serious hail storms. I think I have seen hail twice in the 32 years I have lived in Alaska. The conditions are not ideal for hail here.

During El Nino years you are going to see hotter than normal temperatures during the Summer, and wetter than normal during the Winter. Compared to prior El Nino years, this is not a particularly strong one.

We got dumped on in early November with 44" of snow, but then the warm Chinook Winds picked up - with wind speeds up the 70 to 90 mph (112 to 144 kph) - and melted most of it. So far it has not gotten very cold. We are still in the positive teens and twenties (°F). We have had worse Winters thus far, but we have also had better Winters.

No two Winters have been exactly alike since I moved to Alaska, so I am not going to even try to predict what this Winter will bring. I am expecting it to get much colder, and I am anticipating additional snow before the month is out. Then another cold snap in February, followed by more snow in March. December and March are usually are biggest snow months, but it would appear that the snow came a bit early this Winter.

More Fake News. The record high for Portland, Oregon, is 114°F (46°C) established June 28, 2021. The record high for Seattle, Washington, is 108°F (42°C) also established on June 28, 2021.

You leftist can't even lie properly. Your deliberate lies are so easily exposed.

Furthermore, one day's temperature constitutes weather, not climate. Get a clue, if you are capable.

Record highs for that day, genius. Did you really think anyone would buy your crap about annual high temperature records in December?
Geez.

Who cares about your weather/climate dead horse? The topic, Glitch, is the weather (sorry, did you copyright the word?) on that day setting a new temperature record for that day.

This was a december temperature and you talk about the middle of summer?

I'm talking about actual record temperatures. You don't get to make up your own numbers. If they are not a higher temperature, then they aren't "record-breaking."

Yes, a record temperature for December.

What's the record high in Fairbanks for December 5? For December? Record high ever?
You buggered this one up, bud. Again.

 

[Peter]

Maybe the person who wrote the article expected the reader to know how seasons work.

I know how they work and I'm a complete idiot.
A record temperature in December is going to be lower than the record temperature in June.
Then again maybe I'm just a secret super genius and that fact isn't bloody obvious.

I have some theories...

The leftist filth who wrote the article deliberately lied by claiming records were broken. But that is to be expected from leftist filth. They are never honest about anything.

If the temperature is always higher in June than December, then there can be no record high in December. All the record highs would be in June, not December. A concept that most grade-schoolers can comprehend, but apparently not you.

Yes, a record for december.

The person who wrote it obviously gave the reader credit for realising a winter record is not going to be as hot as a summer record.
I really don't understand how you fail to grasp this simple concept.

We talk about record high winter temps in the UK all the time, it's not an unusual way to discuss record temps.

Seriously, it's a bloody simple concept.

So we can make up our own record temperatures?

Did you know I just established a new record temperature for December 5, 2023 at 6:01:33 PM! Oh wait, I just established yet another record temperature for December 5, 2023 at 6:01:35 PM!

Typical dishonest leftist ploy: When the real-world numbers don't support your bullshit, make up your own!

There is no such thing as record-high Summer temperatures and record-high Winter temperatures. It is simply record-high temperatures for a given year, and yes it typically occurs during the Summer season, and there can only be one record established for any given year.

How are you struggling with this?
Do you really not think a december record is possible?
I'm done here as I'm going to bed but can someone else please join in and show I'm not going crazy.

You're not going crazy. Some people, for partisan reasons, deliberately confuse "climate" and "weather", so cannot grok data that doesn't conform to their idiosyncratic view.
