Related: About this forumU.S. Severe Alerts: Special Statement for Seattle and Vicinity
Statement as of 1:51 PM PST on November 09, 2014...Colder temperatures and locally windy conditions expected this week...
A cold Canadian air mass will dive southward on Monday and spread across the Pacific northwest Monday night through at least Wednesday. Strong offshore flow will develop on Monday allowing drier air to filter into western Washington. High temperatures across The Lowlands will be in the low 50s on Monday... then fall to the low to mid 40s by Tuesday and Wednesday. Clear skies will allow overnight temperatures to cool off dramatically Tuesday and Wednesday. Low temperatures away from the water are expected to fall into the low to mid 20s. Typically milder spots such as Seattle closer to the water will get down to the upper 20s or low 30s. This will be the first hard freeze for some areas this season. By Wednesday night... a weather system will approach and spread clouds into western Washington. Temperatures will begin to moderate as a chance of precipitation returns Thursday.
Locally windy conditions are also possible as strong offshore flow develops. Fraser outflow across the north interior should begin Monday night or early Tuesday with gusts over 45 mph possible through Tuesday night. Locations such as Bellingham... Blaine... Sumas... and the San Juans are particularly vulnerable to Fraser outflow. In addition... strong easterly winds are also expected along the foothills during this period. Wind gusts in excess of 45 mph may develop... especially near the Cascade gaps affecting places like Enumclaw and North Bend. Stay tuned to the latest forecasts for updates on the changing weather.
Got to get out and get some shopping done. The stores are packed as gales or any difficult weather approaches. The same as people preparing for hurricanes. This won't be bad but if pavement freezes with the rain and or snow, it could be a bit dicey with the hills here.

a mid-winter phenom, that brings bitter cold to the North Sound.

I still have family and friends up there and sometimes forget to do a check of what is going on.

That's 'THE Mountain.'
That's one river view.
