Cyclone Emergency Declared Across Three States

A cyclone emergency declared warning has been issued for the West Coast as a powerful storm threatens to wreak havoc. The National Weather Service has alerted residents to prepare for rising waves, intense winds, and heavy rainfall as the storm rapidly intensifies.

Meteorologists are closely monitoring a bomb cyclone forming off the West Coast. This storm, known for its rapid intensification due to bombogenesis, will likely bring destructive weather throughout the week.

By Tuesday afternoon, November 19, the storm’s pressure is predicted to drop by 20 to 24 millibars within 24 hours.

This steep drop emphasizes the potential severity of the system. Residents are urged to take precautions immediately to prepare for this cyclone emergency declared.

The bomb cyclone will unleash heavy rain and snow across Northern California and Oregon. Rainfall estimates range from 8 to 12 inches in most areas, while isolated locations may receive up to 15 inches.

Additionally, mountain regions are expected to see over a foot of snow, making conditions challenging for those in higher altitudes.

Flooding is likely in areas with poor drainage, and landslides could occur in wildfire-affected regions. Furthermore, rivers and streams may overflow, and unstable terrain could lead to rockfalls on mountain roads.

Driving through mountain passes like Siskiyou Pass and Snoqualmie Pass will be especially hazardous due to snow and icy conditions.
