A bomb cyclone and an atmospheric river will continue lashing the Pacific Northwest with severe weather conditions, the National Weather Service said.

A powerful atmospheric river is slamming into Northern California and is expected to persist for days. Its effects, coupled with a bomb cyclone offshore, are being felt across the Pacific Northwest.

Tens of thousands of homes in Washington state lost power Tuesday and downed wires or trees locked some highways as Northern California and the Pacific Northwest started feeling the effects of a powerful atmospheric river event,

A powerful winter storm hit the Pacific Northwest on Wednesday, knocking out power to hundreds of thousands in Washington.

At least one person is dead and hundreds of thousands of were without power early Wednesday as a powerful bomb cyclone hit the Pacific Northwest and northern California.

These winds are likely to produce numerous power outages and tree damage in the most impact regions,” the National Weather Service said.

Thousands of people across western Washington were without power Tuesday night as a bomb cyclone brought strong winds to the region.

Over half a million are now without power as the Pacific storm moves through Western Washington. As of 11 p.m., Seattle City Light reports that over 112,648 customers are experiencing outages. Overall the state is reporting over 606 thousand without power.
