Ed. Note: this weather update should have been posted yesterday afternoon, but I missed posting it on time. Looking at the rising winds at West Point in Seattle this morning, it still has validity. Stay tuned for today’s forecast, we’ll get it up in the afternoon/evening.
A substantial weather system headed our way last night and into this morning. Winds in the central Sound could be 25-30 with gusts to near 40. The coast and northern interior, San Juan Islands, and Bellingham will see winds of 30-40 with gusts to near 50.
If you have a chance, check the mooring lines and fenders.
I’ll have the regular weekend forecast tomorrow afternoon.

Bruce has raced and cruised the Pacific Northwest his entire life. He earned a Bachelor’s of Science from the University of Washington in Biological Oceanography and learned meteorology “to keep from getting kicked around on the race course.” Bruce spent nearly two decades as Associate Publisher for Northwest Yachting Magazine, retiring in mid-2015, and was the chairman of the board of trustees for the Northwest Marine Trade Association in 2014.
