Dry but Windy this weekend..

Expecting dry but windy for a large part of the weekend ahead for Snoqualmie and North Bend. Gap winds (~30-40 mph) look set to return by Saturday evening as a low organizes off the coast pulling on higher pressure east of the mountains. It isn't a deep enough low like the one that helped to really rev up winds on Valentine's Day (55+ mph). Models show other gap wind foothill communities, e.g. Enumclaw, Black Diamond and Columbia Gorge may see gusts a bit stronger, perhaps ~50 mph.
