Part of a storm that produced torrential rain and flooding in Hawaii this past weekend
1:20
will impact parts of Washington and British Columbia through most of the week, resulting
1:26
in a flood threat along small streams, rivers, and urban areas.
1:30
A plume of moisture known as an atmospheric river will extend thousands of miles from Hawaii
1:37
to British Columbia and Washington through Friday, because this moisture originates near
1:42
Hawaii it is also referred to as a pineapple express.
1:47
Rain will drench the region through Friday as waves of moisture move through the pineapple
1:52
express during the heaviest periods of rain ponding on highways and flooding of some
1:57
city streets are possible.
1:59
As runoff accelerates down hills and steep mountain sides, small streams and river headwaters
2:05
in higher elevations may surge and receive multiple times during the event.
2:11
Larger rivers at lower elevations near the coast may experience somewhat the laid but
2:16
longer flood cycles.
2:18
Rainfall between one to four inches is expected across most lower elevations in western
2:24
Washington and southwestern British Columbia.
2:27
On west and southwest facing slopes of the coast mountains, olympics, and cascades four
2:33
to eight inches of rain is expected through Friday with an acuether local storm max of
2:41
There is a risk of moderate to major flooding along some rivers in northwestern Washington
2:48
and southwestern British Columbia as snow levels rise above mountain passes.
2:54
Some melting of high elevation snow is likely due to this warmer pattern.
3:00
Some rain will spill over the cascades and into eastern Washington but the rain will be
3:05
more sporadic and much less likely to lead to flooding.
3:10
This pattern is being fueled in part by a strong heat dome over the southwestern U.S.,
3:16
which is steering storms and moisture northward around a zone of very warm dry air.
3:23
This heat dome will set daily, monthly, and early season high temperature records in
3:28
dozens of locations in the western U.S. in the coming days.
3:32
Well, residents across Cleveland, Ohio reported a sudden boom that shook windows and startled
3:40
neighborhoods on Tuesday morning as a meteor blazed overhead.
3:45
National Weather Service offices in Cleveland and Pittsburgh received multiple reports of
3:51
the fireball shortly after 9 a.m. eastern time, an employee at the Pittsburgh office captured
3:59
As reports of the shaking spread, NOAA's Goast East satellite helped confirm the cause,
4:06
its lightning mapper detected a brief bright flash over the region, despite no thunderstorms
4:12
in the area at the time indicating the signal was likely from the meteor rather than lightning.
4:19
More than 100 pending reports were submitted to the American Meteor Society website on
4:24
Tuesday, from Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Virginia, and Maryland.
4:29
Well, be on the lookout for quicksand if you happen to be in Southern Utah.
4:36
An unusual quicksand alert has been issued at a popular outdoor destination there.
4:42
The National Park Service is warning hikers to be on the lookout for quicksand in Glen
4:49
Canyon National Recreation Area, especially near shorelines.
4:54
And in drainage areas, the National Park Service said the quicksand could look dry and
4:58
solid on top, but may suddenly give way.
5:02
Watch for unstable, shifting, or unusually soft ground, and use caution when entering
5:10
Glen Canyon is not the only place where quicksand is a real problem.
5:14
Last year a hiker was rescued after being stuck in quicksand for hours in Utah's Arches
5:21
A landscape can offer clues about where quicksand may be present, including ground that looks
5:27
wet or unusually smooth, soil that ripples or suddenly vibrates when stepped near, and
5:35
dry looking surfaces that still feel soft or spongy.
5:40
If someone does get stuck in quicksand, the National Park Service says staying calm and
5:46
moving slowly is key.
5:49
General evidence-based steps include stay calm and avoid sudden movements, lean back to
5:55
spread out your body weight, slowly work your legs upward one at a time, and use slow,
6:02
controlled movements to move toward firmer ground.
6:05
And call for assistance if escaping is difficult.
6:08
The park's warning applies broadly across Glen Canyon, and the National Park Service
6:13
also points visitors to quicksand safety information for nearby areas such as Rainbow Bridge.
