A major windstorm is approaching the Washington coast. It is expected to arrive tomorrow night and into Monday morning, but it is already getting windy here now. Winds could approach 60 mph/97 kph along the coast and here in the Northwest Interior. Areas along Vancouver Island, Canada could see 100 mph/161 kph winds. If we have power, I will try and update the situation on Monday.
