Another series of storms will blow through Whatcom County this week, bringing strong winds and possibly some power outages for the lowlands, snow for the mountains — and heavy rain as a classic Pineapple Express approaches later in the week. And that atmospheric river of rain will put a damper on hopes of an early start to the winter sports season. Expect strong winds early Tuesday, Nov. 9, as part of a system with southeast to southwest winds of 25-35 mph, gusting to 50 mph, said Mike McFarland of the National Weather Service in Seattle.

“It’s certainly going to be blustery. It’s a pretty good front,” McFarland told The Bellingham Herald. A wind advisory was in effect from 10 p.m. Monday, Nov. 8, until noon Tuesday, Nov. 9.
