WLANDS. PLACES LIKE SEQUIM AND PORT TOWNSEND WILL BE IN THE OLYMPIC RAIN SHADOW AND RECEIVE MUCH LESS RAINFALL. THE AMOUNT OF RAIN BEING FORECAST COULD DRIVE SOME AREA RIVERS NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE FLOOD STAGE LATE THIS WEEKEND. THE RIVER MOST LIKELY TO FLOOD FIRST WILL BE THE SKOKOMISH IN MASON COUNTY. IN ADDITION TO THE POSSIBILITY OF RIVER FLOODING...THE HEAVY RAIN COULD RESULT IN PONDING OF WATER ON ROADS AND IN LOW-LYING AREAS. IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO CHECK THE STORM DRAINS TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE NOT CLOGGED WITH DEBRIS. IT WILL BECOME WINDY ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA ON SATURDAY...WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS LIKELY OCCURRING OVER THE COAST AND FROM ABOUT OAK HARBOR AND MOUNT VERNON NORTHWARD. WINDS OVER THESE AREAS ARE FORECAST TO REACH 20 TO 35 MPH WITH GUSTS IN THE 45 TO 50 MPH RANGE. THEREFORE...EXPECT BRIEF POWER OUTAGES AS WELL AS SOME SNAPPED TREE LIMBS. THE SUNDAY STORM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE SIMILAR OR STRONGER WIND SPEEDS.
