HRRR Hourly forecast model showing predicted wind gusts 7 pm Tuesday with arrows drawn on to visualize the flow of wind.

It's looking now like the east winds will be strong enough to reach farther west than usual in these events. Latest hourly models picking up gusts to 50-55 in I-5 corridor Seattle north. EAST winds. Not our usual S/SW. I drew on the map so you can visualize how winds sweeping out to Strait:

LOTS of changes coming down the pike for Tuesday's storm. Short version: BLIZZARD Warnings now in effect for the Cascades for heavy snow with those screaming east wind Tuesday evening/pm. Also WIND ADVISORIES now in effect for the rest of Western Washington not covered by the Wind Warning. More soon

I noticed that too, but this is going to be a real tough one to call. Sometimes the models overdo wind speeds - but this storm is a monster, even as far away as it is.

LBC Weather is here! I’ll try to post updates here as well but I do most of my posting on Facebook at this point.
