Lesser known on this day is the powerful 975 mb storm making landfall in Oregon in this satellite image that brought hurricane-like pressure tendencies/winds to the coast and 70+ mph gusts inland. The Fitzgerald storm was not the only tempest in the US this day.

Breaking news: The Trump administration is sending messages to federal staff suggesting only those who are working during the government shutdown will be paid when it ends, despite a 2019 law that guarantees pay to furloughed employees, too.
Administration hints furloughed workers may not be paid after shutdown
Agencies are sending messages indicating that workers who are on the job will be paid when the government reopens — with no mention of those on furlough, despite a 2019 law protecting their wages.

I don’t think it’s quite sunk in how crazy a storm holding for a day at 910 mb (or lower) in the Atlantic basin really is.

Strong winds in the Puget Sound area also supported by a 10-12 mb SEA-PDX gradient per SPC mesoanalysis and a leeside (of the Olympics) trough enhancing said gradient. Common feature in Pacific NW windstorms for W #wawx.

Really impressive radar signature with this potent low pressure system delivering a strong and damaging gale to the Puget Sound area right now. Sustained 41 mph winds with a 66 mph gust at the Tacoma Narrows Bridge #wawx.
