KIRO 7 TV meteorologist Nick Allard reports, “That’s warmer than recent days because southwesterly winds will be increasing ahead of an atmospheric river moving south through British Columbia for most of the day.
“It’ll become rather breezy in the afternoon and evening hours along the coast and north/west of Everett and a Wind Advisory has been issued for these locations for gusts from 20-35mph with isolated gusts over 40 mph. This could cause some power outages north/west of Everett through the islands from Thursday morning through Thursday evening.”
Heavy rain will move in Thursday night starting in the north and moving south.
