High winds, rain expected today
The first major windstorm of the fall is expected to hit the Seattle area this morning, as a low-pressure system brings 25- to 35-mph winds to the area, along with heavy morning rain and stronger winds tonight.
The first major windstorm of the fall is expected to hit the Seattle area this morning, as a low-pressure system brings 25- to 35-mph winds to the area, along with heavy morning rain and stronger winds tonight.
The National Weather Service is predicting sustained wind speeds of about 45 mph with gusts as high as 60 mph — enough to knock out power and bring down tree limbs, said weather-service meteorologist Dennis D'Amico.
The weather service has issued both a high-wind watch and a wind advisory for tonight. Low-pressure systems off the coast also could mean flooding in the North Cascades and Olympics, and in Snohomish, Whatcom and Skagit counties, he said. No flooding is expected along the Green River, D'Amico said.
