#PNW #weather #Oregon #Washington #floodingawareness #flood

Be on the lookout for flooding this week! 🌊

An atmospheric river moves into the Northwestern United States, carrying massive amounts of water vapor. The PNW will experience heavy rainfall, likely leading to flooding. If you’ve come across a flood, be sure to report it here: bit.ly/4iP1s5j

🌊 Making Waves in Science:

Join us tomorrow from 9:00 am - 10:00 am (PST) for a seminar on the latest tsunami research updates -- because tsunamis don't give warnings, but we do!

Click the link to register and learn more!

New research from the Cascadia CoPes Hub shows that the shallow megathrust off the Pacific Northwest is mostly locked - a sign that a powerful offshore quake could rupture near the seafloor, increasing tsunami risk.

Check out the research here on our website!
