Current Watches, Warnings and Advisories for Washington Issued by the National Weather Service:
A STRONG FRONTAL SYSTEM MAY BRING HIGH WINDS TO PARTS OF
WESTERN WASHINGTON FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY MORNING…
COMPUTER MODELS INDICATE THAT A STRONG FRONTAL SYSTEM SHOULD
BEGIN DEVELOPING OVER THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC ON THURSDAY…THEN
TRACK NORTHEAST TOWARD NORTHERN VANCOUVER ISLAND FRIDAY NIGHT. A
STRONG COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO CROSS WESTERN WASHINGTON FRIDAY
NIGHT AND THE MAIN LOW WILL MOVE INLAND OVER SOUTHERN BRITISH
COLUMBIA SATURDAY MORNING.
THE FORECAST FOR THIS SYSTEM IS STILL UNCERTAIN…SINCE SMALL
CHANGES IN THE TRACK AND CHANGES IN STRENGTH CAN HAVE A BIG IMPACT
ON THE STRENGTH OF WINDS ACROSS WESTERN WASHINGTON.
BASED ON THE LATEST MODELS THOUGH…THE WASHINGTON COAST AND THE
NORTH INTERIOR COULD POSSIBLY HAVE HIGH WINDS AHEAD OF THE COLD
FRONT FRIDAY NIGHT…AS WELL AS SATURDAY MORNING WHEN THE MAIN LOW
MOVES INLAND.
PARTS OF THE SOUTHWEST INTERIOR COULD POSSIBLY RECEIVE LOCALIZED HIGH
WINDS FRIDAY NIGHT AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT.
THE STRAIT OF JUAN DE FUCA COULD POSSIBLY RECEIVE HIGH WINDS
SATURDAY MORNING AS THE MAIN LOW MOVES INLAND.
HIGH WINDS ARE SUSTAINED WINDS (LASTING AROUND A MINUTE) OF 40 MPH
OR WIND GUSTS TO 58 MPH.
OVER THE REMAINDER OF WESTERN WASHINGTON THE WINDS MAY NOT REACH
40 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 58 MPH…BUT THEY MAY BE STILL STRONG ENOUGH
TO CAUSE SOME TREE AND POWER LINE DAMAGE. WITH THE SOIL STILL
RATHER WET AROUND WESTERN WASHINGTON…TREES MAY STILL BE A LITTLE
EASIER TO TOPPLE IN VERY WINDY WEATHER.
should be an interesting couple of days.
