'Stronger, Wetter System' Incoming: Washington Weather Forecast

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

WASHINGTON — After the wild, snowy weekend the Puget Sound had last week, it was nice to have a relatively calm work week. But Washington winters hate to stay too comfortable.

The National Weather Service says starting overnight Saturday, a wet and active weather system will be pushing its way into Western Washington - and it'll be sticking around at least through Tuesday morning.

However, a rainshadow should protect the interior Puget Sound from most of the action: most of Kitsap, King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties are expected to see between half an inch to an inch of rain. It's the Olympic Peninsula that'll bear the brunt of the storm, with three to four inches of rain predicted from Forks to Quinault.

That said, the rainshadow won't completely protect the sound from all the action. Sunday and Monday are expected to be particularly breezy, with winds ranging from 20 to 25 mph for most of Pierce County, and up to 25 to 30 in the Seattle area. Gusts will be between 25 and 40 mph for the region.

1. We just can't get a break.

Of course I should not complain because what we are having is not killing us and causing us to lose our homes.

2. Many neighborhoods in Kingston have lost power

Including mine. The good news is that the sewer plant is on the same power leg as we are, so power is a priority for my area. Right now, I'm too lazy to go out there and turn on the generator. The utility company says that power will be restored in less than 2 hours.
