A new storm system is set to impact western Washington, bringing gusty winds and heavy rain starting Friday. This follows a recent bomb cyclone that has already battered the region. Residents in the Puget Sound and Whatcom County areas should prepare for potential power outages and damage due to winds expected to reach up to 50 MPH. The National Weather Service has issued a wind advisory, with authorities on alert for widespread impacts. Additionally, the backcountry of Mt. Baker Ski Area has reported avalanche conditions due to the ongoing severe weather. A series of storms, including an atmospheric river, are contributing to the intense conditions in the region.
