It looks like we’re in for another windy day. With a wind advisory in effect until 4:00 pm today and an extra high tide of 12.59 feet at 10:32 this morning.
Here’s the current (8:08 am) Wind Alert forecast. If we do see gusts in the 40s around high tide, it’s quite possible we’ll see some water coming over the bulkhead.
The Puget Sound Marine forecast has a small craft advisory until 10am this morning (last update 2:41 am).
TODAY S wind 20 to 30 kt rising to 25 to 35 kt in the afternoon. Wind waves 3 to 6 ft. Rain.
TONIGHT SW wind 15 to 25 kt. Wind becoming NW 10 to 20 kt N part in the evening and SW 10 to 20 kt S part in the evening. Wind waves 2 to 4 ft. A chance of rain.
National Weather Service (4:00 am update).
...WIND ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT FROM 7 AM THIS MORNING TO 4 PM PST THIS AFTERNOON... * WIND...Southerly 20 to 35 mph with gusts 45 to 50 mph. * SOME AFFECTED LOCATIONS...Port Townsend, Everett, Bremerton, Seattle, Tacoma, La Push, Ocean Shores, Westport, and Hoquiam. * IMPACTS...Winds may snap weak branches that have not been pruned by recent storms, produce isolated power outages, and make the driving of high-profile vehicles difficult. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... A Wind Advisory means that winds of 35 mph are expected. Winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high profile vehicles. Use extra caution.
We’re not sure if this is going to be a “Barking Dog Report” event where we think there will be flooding along Beach Drive… just something to keep alert about at this point… and we will be past high tide in just over two hours.
Stay tuned!
