A/N: Severe flooding from numerous rivers after days of rain created emergency evacuations in Washington state, with rivers above flood stage. Today, Mount Rainier gleamed in blue skies after the atmospheric river cleared.

Dictionary.com: atmospheric river [at-muhs-fer-ik riv-er, -feer-]

/ ˌæt məsˈfɛr ɪk ˈrɪv ər, -ˈfɪər- /

noun - Meteorology - A long, narrow corridor in the atmosphere that transports massive amounts of concentrated water vapor from the tropics: often responsible for extratropical cyclones and other extreme weather events, but also for commonly weaker systems of rain that replenish water supplies.
