Flooding threats across the Northwest Friday are fueled by what's known as an atmospheric river. The term describes a narrow corridor of concentrated water vapor in the sky, essentially a river of water vapor. When the "river" arrives the area will receive a period of moderate-to-heavy rainfall for up to 48 hours.
