Multiple Advisories....

Right now we have 3 active weather advisories....

The Wind Advisory will be cancelled soon, only to "possibly" be replaced with another for North winds.  The wind switched to the north a little before noon today.  It produced a pretty nasty looking convergence zone that came down Admiralty Inlet.  We got a good dose of lumpy rain....

The second advisory is a "Winter Weather Advisory"....  It doesn't look like we will get more than a dusting, if anything at all....  Now that I have said that, we'll probably get a foot.... :)

Here is the text:

...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 4 AM TO 8 AM PST 

SUNDAY... 
The National Weather Service in Seattle has issued a Coastal 
Flood Advisory, which is in effect from 4 AM to 8 AM PST Sunday. 
Minor flooding along the beaches is possible early Sunday 
morning--mostly because of the action of wind waves around the 
time of high tide which is around daybreak on Sunday. 
High tide will be about one foot below the typical highest tide 
but windy weather and waves could cause some minor flooding along 
the beaches because of the waves. 
A north wind of 20 to 30 mph and wind waves 3 to 5 feet is 
expected over Puget Sound Sunday. The north wind should develop  

late tonight to around daybreak Sunday.
