Update 6:30 a.m. – Wind gusts are still strong, but not as strong as a few hours ago. I think a few more 50 miles per hour are possible, but more likely would be 40 miles per hour with the continued weakening of the low and the associated gusts. Basically, we should calm down outside of some stray 50 mile gusts in the next few hours.

All the best for Tuesday! It is a precise alarm day with continued very strong wind, rain and mountain snow. The weak area of ​​low pressure moves further this morning over the area, with the wind or directly past the summit.

We hit 70 miles per hour on the coast near Hoquiam last night and at 3 p.m. 60 miles per hour on Boeing Field and 52 miles per hour at sea. We have just hit 53 miles per hour in Tacoma with many places in the range of 20, 30 and 40 km / h. We will continue to have strong gusts in the next few hours, even if we are shortly before the week. Instead of 52 miles per hour, SEA 48 miles per hour can have 48 miles per hour and then let go of around 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. into the upper up to 30 miles per hour and less than 40 miles per hour.

Up to the middle of the late morning, most of the area is on normal wind. In the meantime, you can expect rain areas, depressed trees and branches, disabled streets, power outages and strong gusts.

The strong wind warning and wind counseling stay until 10 a.m.

This afternoon will be gusty with a PUGET sound convergence zone in the counties King and Snohomish. The rest of the area will see rain this morning and less shower this afternoon with a few sun breaks. The morning will be absolutely the busy part of the day, with a lot of quieter weather this afternoon. Today there will also be a lot of snow in the mountains. A winter storm warning applies to the mountains with snow and a rain-snow mix in Snoqualmie with 6-10 inches in the passes and much more in the Paradise Visitor Center.

From Wednesday to the end of the working week, the weather with some clouds and sun and heights will be calm in the 50s to almost 60. One chance that rain shower will return this weekend.
