WEST SEATTLE WEATHER: Wind Advisory alert for tonight

9 PM: Thanks to @WestSeaWX for the tip – the National Weather Service decided tonight to issue a Wind Advisory alert, 10 pm tonight through 6 am tomorrow. The alert warns of “southwest winds 20 to 35 mph, with gusts 40 to 50 mph.” Charge everything!

P.S. This will overlap with another alert – a Coastal Flooding Advisory for “minor tidal overflow” as the stormy weather crosses paths with the “king tide” high tide, 12.8 feet just after 6 am tomorrow.

NOTE: The storm arrived just before midnight. We’re covering it here.

    We’ve had green lightning flashes in the sky numerous times here in White Center. I bet the wind gusts were up to 70mph. I’ve lived here my entire life and have never seen gusts this strong! Yes, power went out, explosion towards Burien. No sleep tonight.
