A vile weather stew is brewing, with blustery and wet conditions expected Sunday through Monday as a powerful weather system rolls through the region.
A wind advisory has been posted for much of Western Washington state for Sunday through Monday, including Mason County. The forecast is for southeasterly wind gusts 20-35 MPH, with possible gusts near 50 MPH, especially on Hood Canal.
There will be a lot of rain in the Olympic Mountain foothills. For example, the Lake Cushman area could see between 3 and 7 inches of rain Sunday through Monday night. The lowlands could see between 1 and 2 inches.
The surf will be churning along the coast. There could also be tidal overflow that pushes high tides up to 2 feet above expected.
Trouble is in store because of wet soils, wind from the southeast, and leaves still on many trees. Beware of downed trees and possible power outages. Storm drains could be blocked by fallen leaves, creating road hazards.
