"Pineapple Express" to hit West Coast, bringing heavy rain, snow, and potential flooding.

A Pineapple Express, an atmospheric river bringing heavy moisture from the tropics, is set to hit the western US, particularly Northern California and the Pacific Northwest, starting Friday. The event can cause significant rainfall, potentially over 6 inches in some areas, and heavy snow in mountainous regions. This weather system increases the risk of flooding and landslides, especially in areas recently affected by wildfires. Despite short-term risks, these moisture-rich events help replenish water supplies in the region.
