Batten Down the Hatches Edmonds, Here Comes the 'Pineapple Express'
The National Weather Services has posted a flood watch for rivers flowing from the mountains, but down here it will just be wet, windy and sort of warm.
Get out the galoshes and batten down the hatches, the National Weather Service says a warm and wet front will bring rain and wind to Edmonds Tuesday through Thursday.
A Flood Watch has been issued for rivers originating in the Olympics and Cascades. But down here, Edmonds residents can expect significant rainfall, mild temperature and moderate winds, the latter blowing in a small craft advisory for Puget Sound.
Localized flooding is possible but not a major concern. The National Weather Service forecast for Edmonds calls for rain and winds 11 to 20 mph, with lows 45 to 49 degrees and high from 55 to 57.
It is the classic “Pineapple Express” coming straight from the South Pacific, good-natured called ‘Poseidon” by UW weather guru Cliff Mass on his blog here.
