A Pineapple Express is Heading to the PNW?
Western Washington gets a brief reprieve this weekend, but another powerful storm system is already taking aim at the region. A Pineapple Express, the nickname for atmospheric rivers originating near Hawaii, is forecast to arrive Monday and could push already swollen rivers back toward flood stage.
“By Sunday and especially Monday, we really ramp up the rain coverage again,” Max Tsaparis, a NewsNation meteorologist, told “Seattle’s Morning News” on KIRO Newsradio Friday morning. “We’re back to an atmospheric river level four for much of the coastal Washington region through Monday and Tuesday next week.”
