A Wind Advisory has been issued by the National Weather Service (NWS) Seattle WA, effective immediately until 2:00 PM PDT this afternoon, September 29.

Residents in San Juan County and the Lowlands of Western Whatcom County should prepare for south winds of 20 to 30 mph, with gusts anticipated to reach 40 to 45 mph. These conditions are expected to impact unsecured objects, potentially causing them to blow around. There is also a risk of tree limbs being blown down and isolated power outages.

The NWS advises that winds of this strength can make driving challenging, particularly for high-profile vehicles. Extra caution is urged for all motorists during this period.
