Looks like we could be in for a gusty evening. There currently is a small craft advisory until 2:00 am Saturday.
Puget Sound Tide predictions from NOAA has the next high tides of 12.1 feet at 5:34 pm tonight followed by 11.9 feet at 7:23 am on Saturday.

The Puget Sound Marine forecast:

Puget Sound and Hood Canal- 226 PM PDT Fri Oct 18 2024 SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 2 AM PDT SATURDAY

Yes… let’s not forget about the rain!

According to Wind Alert, it’s blowing about 31 mph from the south right now and I believe it! This blustery weather is forecasted to last through tomorrow so you may want to make sure that anything that can take flight in your yard is secured.

As I write this post (7:30 am), there is a Small Craft Advisory until 5:00 am Tuesday morning.

I know I’m not the only person looking forward to the sunny weather that’s coming up this weekend!

8:00 AM UPDATE: Some Beach Drive homes are impacted by a power outage. Seattle City Light expects power to be restored by 11:00 AM.

If the current forecast holds true, we’re going to be in for some very windy wet weather. As I write this, we’re just past high tide for today and our next big high tide is tomorrow afternoon at 1:42 pm at 11.64 feet.

Wind Alert‘s forecast shows potential gusts from 39-47 mph starting tonight around 9:00 pm with the potential for significant gusts through Monday afternoon. Yowzers!

Here is the marine forecast:

Puget Sound and Hood Canal-

Monday’s high tide is an 11.54 at 2:12 pm. According to Wind Alert’s current forecast, the wind “should” be simmering down around noon.

It looks like tomorrow’s high tide around 1:42 pm is the best chance for some potential flooding IF we have 5 foot wind waves with tides of 11.64 feet (possibly higher if we have coastal flooding).
