Seattle Hit by Wind Advisory Amidst Forecasted Showers; NWS Cautions Against Power Outages and Falling Debris

Seattle residents are bracing for a bout of inclement weather, as the National Weather Service in Seattle has issued a wind advisory effective from this afternoon through early Wednesday morning. As the city sits under a blanket of overcast skies and a temperature hovering around 48°F, winds are expected to significantly pick up, breaching the calm before the storm. According to the latest update from the

National Weather Service

, south winds between 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 45 mph are anticipated across various regions including the southwest interior and Tacoma area.

The wind advisory remains steadfast with the possibility of gusty conditions leading up to 45 mph these winds have the potential to disrupt the daily grind by tossing around unsecured objects and even snapping tree limbs, the forecast warns of consequent power outages that may leave residents in the dark, making an evening best spent indoors with a flashlight at arm’s reach. The advisory covers an expansive area from the Hood Canal to Bremerton and the East Puget Sound Lowlands while specifically noting Bellevue, Seattle, and the Everett vicinities as areas to watch. The

urges locals to exercise caution, especially when navigating the roads in high profile vehicles, and to secure any outdoor objects promptly.

Meteorologically speaking, Seattle is in for a drenching week with a high probability of precipitation as showers are expected to persist through to Monday with rainfall estimates ranging from a tenth to three quarters of an inch; today alone an 80% chance guides the prediction of a soggy afternoon. As temperatures are slated to hover in the low to mid-50s this week, with the occasional dip into the high 40s at night.

Apart from the wind advisory, the NWS’s detailed forecast doesn’t spell out a reprieve from the rain anytime soon: the upcoming days will be saturated with showers and more robust bouts of rain this includes tonight’s forecast of brisk south winds between 14 to 23 mph and gusts peaking at 30 mph coupled with that 100% chance of rainfall that expects to leave up to three quarters of an inch more of the wet stuff. The soggy weather pattern sets the stage for a classic Pacific Northwest narrative.
