A bomb cyclone is expected to hit northern California, Oregon, and Washington this week, bringing hurricane-force winds, heavy rain, and significant snowfall. The National Weather Service has issued urgent warnings for potential flooding and dangerous travel conditions. Wind gusts could reach up to 70 miles per hour, with rainfall totals exceeding 20 inches in some areas. The storm is predicted to begin affecting the West Coast on Tuesday afternoon and may continue through the weekend. Areas with burn scars from wildfires are particularly vulnerable to flooding and mudslides. The storm's central pressure is expected to drop significantly, similar to that of a Category 4 hurricane.
