…is blowing in the wind….

Tonight (Wednesday). According to Northwest meteorologist Cliff Mass, a windstorm this year is very unusual, but not unprecedented. Here’s more from him.

Meanwhile, here’s Brendon Cowan’s report (he’s the Director of San Juan County Department of Emergency Management):

An unusual late spring storm will bring strong winds to the islands late in the day on Wednesday and into the evening. With southerly gusts upwards of 50 mph forecast for some parts of the San Juans, boat owners and others with things liable to blow away should take precautions and keep an eye on this storm.

Though hardly unusual in November, this sort of event is rare in late May. For the latest forecast, visit the National Weather Service page at: www.weather.gov/seattle
