northwester

/nɔɹθwˈɛstɚ/ noun B2

a storm with strong northwest winds

Word Origin A northwester is a wind or storm blowing from the northwest. The -er suffix here turns the direction into a thing that comes from that direction, like a norther or souther. The root west originally meant 'evening direction' in Proto-Germanic, from PIE *wes- 'evening,' so a northwester is literally a wind from the evening-north.
