Forecasters say a series of storms bringing rain and damaging wind will hit Western Washington Wednesday night through Sunday.

Rainfall forecast through Sunday evening in the Pacific Northwest.

Strong winds have already uprooted trees, toppled telephone poles and ruffled rooftops in the coastal OR town of Manzanita.

"Seas could be over 30 feet and possibly 40 feet", he said. It's moving in several hours earlier than anticipated, and it will be over quick. Friday will give us some respite, although with rain showers until Saturday.

Gusts in excess of 100 mph are expected over the mountain ridges beginning Thursday night, with sustained winds up to 35 mph and 65 mph gusts in the valleys around Reno and Carson City. "By 5 PM Saturday, it has revved up to 968 hPa", University of Washington Professor Cliff Mass predicted in a Thursday morning blog post. The string of coast from Northern California up to Vancouver will experience severe impacts from Pacific storms over the weekend. It will intensify through Saturday.

Trump dismisses concussions: 'A little ding on the head'
Trump promised to increase the number of campaign speeches in the coming weeks in an effort to defeat Clinton. The Trump campaign released a statement about the NYT story after it published, calling it "complete fiction".

After seven months apart, the Bay Area and and not-so-sunny side of Mother Nature expect to renew their stormy relationship late Thursday. According to the weather service, rivers are expected to rise, with flooding remaining most likely in the Olympic Peninsula. This is likely to result in areas of flooding.

Waves as high as 25 feet could batter the coastline and cause widespread erosion while up to a foot of rain is possible along the coast and in the Cascade foothills. No other information was immediately available. Pedestrians and cyclists, as well as drivers, should use extreme caution. This weekend, most area beaches open to Clam Digging.

Batten down the hatches, it looks like there's a "potentially long-remembered" storm coming our way. Do not turn your back on the sea. Since many trees still have their leaves, the winds could have brought down tree branches.

If there is a larger power outage, TID recommends turning off all lights, switches and surge protectors, with the exception of one light, to avoid electrical overload when the power returns. DO NOT attempt to move power lines or trim tree limbs tangled with power lines.

Strong winds are expected along the coast and through the Northwest interior. Rain may pool along edges of roadways and also reduce visibility significantly, creating hazardous driving conditions.
