A Wind Advisory is in effect for most of Western Washington. Sustained winds will be in the 15 to 25 mph range, while wind gusts will be between 30 and 40 mph. In the winter, gusts that strong would not be as big of a deal, but more problems will arise after the soaking rain over the past 24 hours and the leaves on the trees creating more wind resistance.
