00:00During September and October, the storm track along the west coast was in the southwest, but this week we changed
00:07that narrative.
00:08It is the northwest that will be hit with three storms.
00:13First one is going to be Monday afternoon, Monday night.
00:15Not a powerhouse, but there's going to be some soaking rain, especially Pacific Northwest.
00:20The I-5 corridor, mostly showers once you get in to areas east of the Cascades.
00:26And then we're on a break.
00:28Not much is going to happen on Tuesday, although there will be a little rain from Seattle toward Portland.
00:34It's not a lot, and there's not a lot of wind with it.
00:36And in fact, most of the area will be dry on Wednesday.
00:40But when you look at the Pacific, look at all of the clouds once we get toward the Aleutian Islands
00:48and back into the eastern Pacific.
00:50You betcha.
00:51We have an active storm track, and we've got two storms coming as we get into Thursday and Friday.
00:57That's going to produce a lot of rain and a lot of wind in the northwest.
01:01And each of these storms get a little stronger and a little colder, which means snow and heavy amounts of
01:09snow will start falling into the mountains.
01:11The northern Sierra and central Sierra start getting into it.
01:15In California, the Cascades and also the northern Rocky ski resorts will love this.
01:21The reservoirs in the west will love this because they fill up from the melting snow in the spring that
01:28falls in the winter.
01:30But travelers, beware, there will be some delays.
