A potentially record-breaking atmospheric river will sweep off the Pacific Ocean this week, soaking the US Northwest and neighboring British Columbia.
Heavy rainfall warnings have been posted across the southern tier of the Canadian province, including Vancouver, Environment and Climate Change Canada said. The moisture content from the looming storm will rival records set in September 1957 on Washington's Olympic Peninsula just west of Seattle, said Peter Mullinax, a forecaster at the US Weather Prediction Center.
