Puget Sound Marine Forecast (from 2:41 am)
Puget Sound and Hood Canal- 241 AM PST Fri Jan 31 2020 SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON GALE WATCH IN EFFECT FROM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON

SAT NIGHT SW wind 10 to 20 kt except NW 20 to 30 kt N part in the evening. Wind waves 1 to 3 ft except 3 to 5 ft N part in the evening.
We are on the fence on as to whether or not this should be one of our “Barking Dog” reports… this weather is certainly enough to make us whine and whimper. Should the winds really pick up and be from the southwest, then we are likely to see some of water come over our bulkhead. It’s 8:14 AM as I am writing this with just shy of an hour to go before our high tide of 11.6 feet. It’s grey and wet out and I’m hoping that by the time the winds pick up that the tides will be low enough to just give us spectacular spray. We have a lower high tide tonight with potentially stronger winds.
Bottom line, I think hubby will be making sure our pumps and generators are operational today!
Wish our Seahawks were playing this weekend and we hope you stay warm and dry.
