Western Washington braces for another round of extreme weather

After surviving holiday snow, crawling up icy streets on ill-advised dog walks and enduring frigid temperatures, Western Washington faces a new wave of weather warnings Tuesday — winds gusting to 70 mph along the coast, gale warnings in Puget Sound and Hood Canal, heavy snow forecast in the mountains, significant rainfall in the lowlands and the threat of flooding and landslides.

Hazardous winter weather could threaten holiday travel across the U.S.

Just as travel returns to pre-pandemic levels, an artic front in the Midwest and and record-breaking cold temperatures along the Gulf Coast and in the Eastern U.S. could bring dangerous conditions.

Cold temps, lowland snow and possible flooding in the forecast

Beware, holiday travelers. Record cold temperatures and heavy lowland snow are possible early this week, followed by rain and potential flooding over the weekend.
