Another round of rain arrived in the south Sound Monday       morning and moved north, arriving in Everett and the Whidbey Island areas       Monday afternoon. It will remain wet and windy through the overnight hours       and into Tuesday morning, with some areas forecast to get an additional       inch or two of rain.              The weather-maker passing over the region is a strong low-pressure area,       meaning it's going to get very windy. The National Weather Service said       strong winds with gusts between 50-60 were possible in the Seattle area       Monday night into early Tuesday morning, but the strongest wind gusts were       expected along the Pacific Coast.              The weather service said “power outages and tree damage will be possible”       with the storm. Lightning and thunder were seen and heard at Seattle       Center around 6:15 p.m. Monday. Shortly after, Seattle City Light reported       more than 5,680 customers were without power, most of which were around       the Fremont area.              READ | How to report a power outage and ways to stay safe              As of 11:11 p.m. Monday, at least 17,100 customers were without power in       western Washington. Below is a breakdown of reported outages by utility       company:              Seattle City Light: 2,553       Puget Sound Energy: 6,670       Snohomish County PUD: 7,904              Wind gusts of nearly 70 mph were reported near Hoquiam and Aberdeen on the       Olympic Peninsula around 5 p.m. Gusts of 38 mph were recorded in Neah Bay,       54 mph gusts were recorded in Astoria and gusts around 44 mph were       reported in Westport and La Push.              Several downed trees were also reported across the region Monday evening.              The Seattle Fire Department responded to a tree that fell on a vehicle       near Aurora Avenue North and Whitman Place North around 6:25 p.m. The       department said crews were able to cut the tree apart and rescue two       children and an adult who were trapped inside the vehicle. Crews also       reported downed powerlines nearby.                            The Seattle Department of Transportation tweeted there was a report of a       tree down on Northeast 45th Street at First Avenue Northeast around 6:40       p.m., and another downed tree was reported on East Green Lake Dr N & NE       72nd St.              High wind warning       A high wind warning is in effect from Monday until 10 a.m. Tuesday in       Seattle, Tacoma, Bremerton, Olympia, and other areas in the vicinity, with       sustained winds of 25 to 35 mph with gusts as high as 65 mph.                            "Damaging winds will blow down trees and power lines. Widespread power       outages are expected. Travel will be difficult, especially for high-       profile vehicles," the National Weather Service said in its warning.              Seattle City Light has tips for preparing for an outage such as making       sure there are flashlights with extra batteries for every family member       and having an emergency kit packed and waiting in an easy-to-find       location.                            A high wind warning is also in effect for the north and central Pacific       Coast through Tuesday morning at 10 a.m.              Neah Bay, Ozette, Aberdeen, La Push, Hoquiam, Long Beach and Willapa Hills       will have the strongest winds with gusts up to 60 to 70 mph.              Widespread power outages are expected from the damaging winds blowing down       trees and power lines, according to the NWS.              There is also a high surf advisory for the north and central coast zones       with large breaking waves of 15 to 25 feet expected.                            Wind advisory       A wind advisory is in effect for those in Bellevue, the east Puget Sound       lowlands, Bellingham, Everett, Oak Harbor, the San Juan Islands, the Hood       Canal area, and Port Angeles. In those areas, there is the chance for a       few isolated power outages with gusts over 50 mph.              In the mountains, more snow is on the way, with 12 to 18 inches possible       above 4,000 feet for the west slopes of the cascades. A winter storm       warning is in effect from through 4 p.m. Tuesday.              A few additional alerts:              Coastal Grays Harbor and Pacific counties are under a storm warning for       the hazardous seas.              The Skokomish River at Potlatch is under an ongoing flood warning as       moderate flooding is expected.              Looking ahead       Tuesday will start out very windy for the drive to work with lingering       showers that taper through the day.              The wind will quiet down in the afternoon and evening.              Wednesday morning will feel calmer and colder, and temperatures could rise       to 60 degrees or higher Wednesday afternoon.                     --       November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look       forward to America being great again.              The disease known as Kamala Harris has been effectively treated and       eradicated.              We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that       stupid people won't be offended.              Durham Report: The FBI has an integrity problem. It has none.              Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden       fiasco, President Trump.              Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the       The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood       queer liberal democrat donors.              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
