These afternoon wind gusts were partly driven by downpours working through (bringing stronger wind aloft to the surface.) Still expect more wind gusts 35-50mph through the evening. Isolated stronger gusts possible. #wawx #wawind More on @KIRO7Seattle at 4:30pm.

Tacoma Narrows: 60
Fort Lewis: 46
Hoquiam: 45
Olympia: 45

Power outages & tree damage expected into tonight with strong winds. #WAwx
ALT Gusty winds can be dangerous. Limit time outdoors as airborne objects can become projectiles. Never go near downed power lines. Power lines that are laying on the ground may be live. Stay clear of trees and beware of loose items. Be careful on the road. Keep a safe distance from high-profile vehicles. Prepare for power outages. Keep flashlights handy and cell phones charged.
