In reply to DF. What part of WS are you in? Still calm here over Lincoln Park ...

Let it be recorded that the wind actually picked up dramatically at 10:01pm, about an hour “early.”

Thar she blows, methinks I’ll be keeping my most sacred trinkets indoors on this fine evening, mayhap the winds will bring forth the changes of season.

@TL… No problem

There is a new hitch and that being a ” Lee Low ” which will likely aid higher gusts especially Everett South and Westward, some local gusts could reach 65mph+ overnight and early to mid morning

Stay safe

Call Parka Boy now! I wish the storms were timed better so I could watch them when I wasn’t at work or asleep. Ever since I upgraded to double-paned windows the wind in the Schmitz Park trees has been muffled to a whisper (and so has the traffic, random kid screams, so it is for good.)

High tide at 4:36 am is 11.5 ft. Not a king tide or anything, but a decent high tide. If the wind really blows from the S or SW all night at 30 mph, that will build up some big waves by 4:30 am. Add some 50 mph gusts and there may be some impressive waves slamming into Beach Drive.
