Breezy & Rainy Weather Continues

Wednesday has been a windy and mild day across Puget Sound, with winds still gusting as I write this.

Below are the Wednesday high temperatures across the South Sound from the NWS map. Some of our air actually came from the Hawaii region...explaining some of today’s “tropical” feel.

Wow!! Widespread highs of 65-70 degrees...quite abnormal for November!

Below are peak wind gusts from that same NWS map.


Gusts of 20-45 mph. This was in the forecast, and winds are expected to slowly subside through the night and into Thursday morning, with gusts of 20-45 mph.

Let’s take a look forward. First off, temperatures will slowly but surely cool down through the next few days. The weather.com forecast for Puyallup shows this trend.


Temperatures may approach freezing by the weekend. However, before we get there, we will pick up more rain. Below a graphic from NWS Seattle showing expected rain through Thursday night.


0.5-1.0 inches likely in the Puget Sound area.

Stay tuned for updates about colder weather this weekend, with some gusty winds possible as well. Another period of rain & active weather is also possible next week.
