ALT An Atmospheric River (AR) is a flowing column of water vapor in the atmosphere responsible for producing significant levels of rain and snow. When ARs move inland and sweep over the mountains, the water vapor rises and cools to create precipitation. Though many ARs are weak systems that provide beneficial rain or snow, larger more powerful ARs can created extreme rainfall and floods.
