'Hazardous' Weather In Store For Puget Sound This Week: Forecast
Back-to-back storm systems will roll through the area beginning Tuesday, bringing wind and lots of rain.
SEATTLE, WA - Much of the region largely dodged a serious wind event this week - but the forecast for the upcoming week indicates we'll have several more opportunities to face wind and rain and all the potential hazards they bring.
Monday will be warm and sunny, according to forecasts, but multiple storm systems will roll through beginning Tuesday. The National Weather Service issued a special weather statement for the "hazardous" weather coming up.
"Tuesday will be windy with the return of rain as the first of several fronts this week passes by. Windiest places will be along the coast and from the Everett area northward, where low-end impacts such as minor tree damage and spotty power outages are possible," the weather statement reads. "Yet another front will arrive Wednesday, and then other weather systems will arrive later in the week."
