The National Weather Service has just raised the storm-alert level again – this time, to a High Wind Warning for 6 pm Thursday through 7 am Friday. Read it here. Sustained wind will be up to 30 mph, from the south, switching to the southwest, with gusts possible to 55 mph. And this is just the *first* storm – the one expected this weekend could be even windier – so get ready, just in case. More to come…
Way too soon to tell. At this point, it looks like it might be over by the early commute, but windstorms are so difficult to predict – could be worse than forecast, could entirely fizzle out and we’re all sitting here at the ready, flashlights and all, with the branches gently waving around. Check here when you get up and we’ll have the latest West Seattle-specific updates as well as watching the major routes from here – we’ll be on storm watch all night.
Sorry, comment time is over.
