clouds often cap Mount Rainier. Rain shadows create sunny skies
while torrential rain falls a few miles away. The Pineapple Express
brings tropical moisture and warmth during Northwest winters. The

variable weather in North America, which is described with colorful
and evocative language in this book. Atmospheric scientist and
blogger Cliff Mass, known for his ability to make complex science
readily accessible to all, shares eyewitness accounts, historical
episodes, and the latest meteorological knowledge. This updated,

chapter on the history of wildfires and their impact on air quality
* Analysis of recent floods and storms, including the Oso landslide
of 2014, the 2016 "Ides of October" windstorm, and the tornado that
damaged 250 homes in Port Orchard on the Kitsap Peninsula in 2018 *
Fresh insight on local weather phenomena such as "The Blob" *
Updates on the latest technological advances used in forecasting *
