KING 5 First Alert Weather Forecast: Thursday, Nov. 21

Thursday brings relatively calm weather before wind and rain could pummel western Washington again early Friday morning. Here’s the latest forecast:

SEATTLE — Residents have one day of relatively calm weather before another windy storm could blow through western Washington.

A bomb cyclone formed off the coast on Tuesday, resulting in strong winds across the region. The storm led to widespread damage, leaving hundreds of thousands of people without power, injuring several people and killing at least two women.

Officials are warning some people could be without power for days.

Looking toward the rest of the week, KING 5 Chief Meteorologist Mike Everett said more active weather is on the way — specifically to areas just barely beginning to recover from Tuesday’s impact.

What’s to come likely won’t be as intense as Tuesday’s bomb cyclone, Everett said.

“Don’t expect anything like what we just saw,” Everett said of the incoming storm. While it is unlikely winds will exceed 60 to 70 miles per hour, Everett said vulnerable power poles, trees or tree limbs could fall with winds of lower intensity.

From Wednesday night into Thursday morning, the Puget Sound area will see coastal showers and storms with a slight pause during daytime hours.

Some of those showers on Wednesday afternoon triggered a tornado warning in Pacific County. Waterspouts were spotted off the coast in southwest Washington, though, none were reported to make landfall.

The bomb cyclone is still well-formed and appears to look like a hurricane, Everett said, but it has weakened and moved slightly farther away.

On Thursday, you can expect showers and sunbreaks throughout the day with temperatures in the mid-40s to 50 degrees.

Friday is when another system brings heavy rain in the foothills, snow in the mountains and wind across the region.

KING 5 will likely activate First Alert for this weather event, because it could affect lives, property and travel in the region.

Meteorologist Everett said between 2 a.m. to 5 a.m. early Friday morning is when winds could exceed 40 mph in the Cascade foothills. Most severely, this will hit areas that are already dealing with downed trees and power outages from Enumclaw to Sammamish and beyond.
