HIGH WIND WARNING UNTIL 6 AM PST WEDNESDAY

WHAT: Southwest winds 25 to 35 mph with gusts up to 50 to 55 mph expected. WHERE: Portions of northwest and west central Washington. WHEN: Until 6 AM PST Wednesday.

IMPACTS: Damaging winds will blow down trees and power lines. Widespread power outages are expected. Travel will be difficult especially for high profile vehicles.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS: Saturated soils will make it easier for trees
to come down in these winds. Winds will be coming from an atypical
direction, which may exacerbate impacts.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS:
People should avoid being outside in forested areas and around trees
and branches. If possible, remain in the lower levels of your home
during the windstorm, and avoid windows. Use caution if you must
drive.
