West Seattle Weather Watch: Wind advisory for Thursday

WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON: If you liked last Saturday’s weather – stand by for a possible encore tomorrow. The National Weather Service has just announced a wind advisory will be in effect for our area and the rest of the Western Washington lowlands, 3 am to 8 pm tomorrow. Right now, the alert – read it here in its entirety – forecasts wind out of the south, 20-30 mph with possible gusts to 45. (Last Saturday’s peak gusts were around 60.) We’ll update here if the forecast changes with the NWS’s next review cycle this evening.

THURSDAY MORNING: Overnight, NWS pushed the advisory back, to 7 am-8 pm Thursday – here’s the new text.

    Saturday’s gusts were higher, but they weren’t at high tide.

    Tomorrow has a nice 12-foot high tide at 8:00 am, and NWS’s hourly forecast page is showing the peak gusts right around then.

    Time for sand bags.
