Some great news for those seeking relief from the drought. The latest monthly drought outlook from @NWSCPC shows drought improvement or even removal is likely for portions of the western U.S. during March thanks to the very wet weather pattern this fall and winter.
We had a V.I.C. (Very Important Chicken) at WR HQ these past few weeks. Larry Chicken, Star Forecaster from @NWSPortland got the opportunity to visit, learn and exchange skill sets with the very talented crew at the WR ROC. #wxut #orwx #wawx

Not quite ready for summertime heat to set in across the Western U.S.? The latest temperature forecasts from @NWSCPC show that below normal temperatures are favored across a good portion of the West through late month (after a brief warm-up over the next 7 days).
Winter is hanging on! Very cold temperatures will spread into portions of the western and central U.S. through this weekend.
Based on the latest info from @NWS_NTWC, the Tsunami Advisory for Washington and Oregon has been cancelled but remains in effect for much of the California coast. Please visit tsunami.gov for the latest information.
Curious what a #TsunamiAdvisory means? Here is a breakdown. Bottom line: Stay out of the water and away from the shore!
An update to expected impacts across the Western US courtesy of our meteorologists @NWSWPC. Don't forget to check state DOT websites/apps for travel, and reconsider traveling in winter weather if you don't have to!
Traveling across MT, ID, WA, OR, or WY the next 24 hours? Be prepared for very strong wind gusts of 40 to 70 mph as well as periods of rain and mountain snow. Some wind gusts nearing 100 mph are possible just east of the Continental Divide in Montana.
Widespread heavy rainfall is expected over much of western Washington tonight through Friday, with several rivers forecast to see minor to moderate flooding. You can always view the latest river level forecasts at water.weather.gov/ #wawx
