A High Wind Warning has been issued for the central and north coasts. It will be in effect until 10 p.m. tonight. West winds are expected to reach 35 to 45 mph, with gusts of 55 to 65 mph. Wind Advisory impacts could include power outages across the country, downed trees and powerlines, as well as difficult driving conditions.

The coast’s strongest winds will reach the interior later Tuesday afternoon. Tonight’s strong winds will be longer than last night, increasing the likelihood of powerlines/trees being downed heading into Wednesday morning.

A Coastal Flood Advisory was extended for the Puget Sound’s southern portion. As a result, there is a possibility of minor tidal flooding through the afternoon due to low pressure over tidal abnormalities. Swells may build up to 25 feet along the coast after the high tide but will subside by Wednesday.

Overnight, the deep-sea surface low moves northeastward, becoming weaker as it goes. The surface gradients will relax tomorrow morning. The warmer air mass that used to be found across Western Washington has been replaced by cooler air, resulting in a calm day. Strong winds and scattered showers will be present in the morning/early evening, but will diminish throughout the day. Cooler air is also welcomed in cooler conditions.

The snow levels will also drop below the passes. Therefore, it is possible for new snow to befall. A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued through the Cascades.

The next system will be in place Wednesday night, with the transition taking place on Thursday. It favors the inland areas south-west of Western Washington. The second system arrives Thursday night and follows the lead of the first. Both systems bring more rain to the region.
