WHEN: For the Wind Advisory, until 10 PM PST this evening. For
the High Wind Watch, from Tuesday evening through Wednesday
morning.

IMPACTS: Damaging winds could blow down trees and power lines.
Widespread power outages are possible. Travel could be difficult,
especially for high profile vehicles. Gusty winds could blow
around unsecured objects. Tree limbs could be blown down and a few
power outages may result.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS: Due to saturated grounds from previous heavy
rain, expect more widespread impacts with these winds.

WHAT: Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
possible.

WHERE: Portions of northwest and west central Washington,
including the following counties, in northwest Washington,
Clallam, Grays Harbor, Jefferson, Kitsap, Mason, Skagit and
Whatcom. In west central Washington, King, Lewis, Pierce,
Snohomish and Thurston.

WHEN: From 10 AM PST this morning through Thursday afternoon.

IMPACTS: Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur
in poor drainage and urban areas. Storm drains and ditches may
become clogged with debris. Area creeks and streams are running
high and could flood with more heavy rain.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS:
- A series of weather systems this week will bring another
round of significant rainfall to western Washington through
Wednesday. Preliminary liquid totals of 2 to 6 inches,
locally higher in some spots, will cause additional sharp
rises to area rivers.
Urban and small stream flooding remains possible for areas
with poor drainage.

Very saturated soils will maintain increased risk for
potential landslides and debris flows off of burn scars.

Rainfall from the past week has increased soil moisture to high
levels across western Washington. Additional rainfall of around 2-6
inches is expected early this week. This amount of rain will put
extra pressure on soil instability, leading to an increased threat of
landslides and debris flows, especially from recent burned areas.
This rain event could act as a trigger for new landslides.

Areas most susceptible to landslides debris flows under these
conditions are steep coastal bluffs, other steep hillsides or
road cuts, and recent burned areas. A diminishing threat of
landslides and debris flows will continue for several days after
the rain ends.
