Residents of West Seattle should prepare for strong winds this evening as the National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a Wind Advisory. The advisory will be in effect from 10 PM tonight until 10 PM tomorrow, Monday.
Wind Advisory Details
The NWS warns of sustained winds between 20 to 25 mph, with gusts potentially reaching 45 to 50 mph. Given the saturated conditions of the ground, these winds could lead to more significant impacts than usual.
Potential Impacts
- Downed trees and branches
- Power outages
- Travel disruptions
It’s advisable for residents to secure outdoor items and stay updated on weather developments. This advisory is notably issued on the anniversary of the 2006 Hanukkah Eve Windstorm, a weather event that left many in West Seattle without power for an extended period.
Stay safe and be prepared for the wind over the coming hours and into Monday evening.
