I wonder if we see a fair amount of 35-45mph+ gusts. The surface low just as the last one did will be strengthening/deepening as it moves towards the north Washington Coast around 988mb and that continues as it scoots across southern BC too. Also, the warmer atmosphere with the AR and 140-160kt jet overhead might lead to stronger winds than that in my opinion. *Shrugs

reasonable outlook for the remainder of winter at this point.
