Update #3 ⚠️⚠️⚠️ — not liking the model disagreement on Tuesday evening.

Update #3 ⚠️⚠️⚠️ — not liking the model disagreement on Tuesday evening. This is a red flag 🚩 to me.

Yesterday I said I wouldn’t be surprised if the system was “mellow” for us compared to other areas, but with both the NAM and the HRRR throwing 50MPH+ gusts from the east/southeast I am trending my thinking into a situation where we may be seeing a possible major impact to many puget sound lowland communities, including south whidbey.

The European model does not agree with the NAM and HRRR, paints us to 42MPH gusts.

Something about this storm just doesn’t sit right with me.

Will revisit tonight, but now would be the time to understand that a multi-day power disruption is not out of the question here.

This will be the lowest pressure storm in recorded history off the coast of Washington.. these weather models are built on past data. At some point we get into uncharted territories when a 942MB low has entered the chat. Luckily she is staying well offshore.

Will post a few more updates to this storm today and tomorrow! Not a bad idea to keep an eye on official sources from here on.
