Friday night!

Friday night! Heads up.. was just checking the HRRR and the NAM sussing out the deal with this atmospheric river about to hit us.

Tonight we start off with gusts to about 40MPH from the south. Some rain can be expected but we’re generally rain shadowed. Definitely NOT wind shadowed however. . .

By Friday night into Saturday we’re going to see a surge of westerly wind ripping down the strait and causing a scene from up north across to mukilteo.

I’ve been tracking this to see if the wind models would back down, but they seem to be ramping up.

Yesterday this event was expected to be around 45mph and now we’re looking at 60mph.

That’s not good for us, you know how it goes around here!

Dust off the generator, fill the car with gas, grab some hot coco and a good book. This is the real deal folks.
