About

Map visualization showing atmospheric river moisture transport from the Pacific Ocean into the Pacific Northwest region during December 2025. The visualization displays two components: colored areas representing total precipitable water as the atmospheric river moves inland from the Pacific, and precipitation accumulation patterns across Washington, Oregon, British Columbia, and Montana. The atmospheric river appears as a continuous moisture plume extending from the Pacific Ocean eastward into the continental landmass. Areas of heavy precipitation accumulation are shown in red to yellow hues across the Pacific Northwest region, indicating where the most intense rainfall occurred during this flooding event.
