Shifting Pattern to Dump Mountain Snow, Raise Flood Threat Across the West This Week

This week has already kicked off with a storm marching into the Pacific Northwest. The grey skies and spits of rain that are typical of autumn led to a dreary end to the weekend along the Interstate 5 corridor across western Washington, Oregon and even Northern California.
