According to the National Weather Service, a storm system is expected to slam the Northwest with high winds and heavy rainfall. Here is what I got from www.weather.gov (I will only include the relavent one):
In response to the storm, Amtrak issued a service alert last night for the Northwest, informing that trains traveling to or thru the Northwest region may be canceled altogether or annuled beyond a certain point. Here is how the advisory reads:A series of strong storm systems will continue to affect the West Coast through Monday,
with the potential for heavy rain and high winds across the Pacific Northwest and northern California.
A frontal system will move inland in the northwestern U.S. today bringing widespread rain.
As this system moves into the interior West on Sunday, snow is expected at the higher elevations of the northern Rockies.
The onslaught of stormy conditions will continue into Monday as onshore flow persists
and another upper-level disturbance moves into the region.
Anyone affected by this storm advisory? I would be surprised if there were none affected, as this is a powerful storm.Pacific Northwest Storm AdvisoryOCTOBER 14, 2016 7:15 PM PDT
