Windy, Rainy Night Ahead

Posted: 2:09 pm PDT October 30, 2009Updated: 4:15 pm PDT October 30, 2009

SEATTLE -- A cold front pushing through Western Washington is packing high winds and rain that should hit the region Friday evening through Saturday morning.

"We're getting ready for a windy and rainy night ahead," said Chief Meteorologist Rebecca Stevenson.

Sustained winds of 30 to 35 mph with gusts to 55 mph are expected beginning late Monday afternoon.

The National Weather Service has issued a wind advisory for the area from Everett west to Port Townsend and north to the Canadian border, including the San Juan Islands.

In the western Strait of Juan de Fuca, a high wind warning is in effect until midnight for winds from 30 mph to 40 mph and gusts to 60 mph.

Stevenson said the heaviest rain will begin in the north, developing around 10 p.m. and moving south though around 2 a.m.

Scattered showers are expected on Saturday, with dry weather on Sunday.

Weather to Expect:
It is a pea soup kind of morning with dense fog and low clouds around Puget Sound. The fog will lift for the afternoon and we will see some more sunshine later today. High temperatures are running in the upper 40s and low 50s this afternoon.

Soak up the sun and dry weather today, because this will be changing for the rest of the week. Wednesday will be our transition day as we move back into a much wetter weather pattern. We will keep it dry for the commute tomorrow morning, but rain will be on the increase during the afternooon and evening. Rain continues Thursday and Friday with wind picking up at times. The wet pattern holds through the upcoming weekend with increasing rain on Saturday and showers on Sunday. High temperatures will be holding in the mid to low 50s through the rest of the week.
