Western Washington to see high winds again Friday

High winds are expected to return to Western Washington Friday, days after a Pacific Ocean bomb cyclone sent heavy blows throughout the region.

The winds on Friday are not expected to be as severe as earlier this week, though they will be noticeable. The National Weather Service in Seattle warns that more power outages can be expected, as well as more falling trees and tree limbs. The strongest winds will strike the coast.

The National Weather Service has issued wind warnings for the coast as well as the Cascade foothills.

Winds between 20 to 35 mph are forecast throughout Bellevue and the East Puget Sound lowlands, with gusts up to 50 mph, between 10 p.m. Thursday through 10 a.m. Friday.

Another wind advisory has been issued for the central and north Washington coastline from 10 a.m. Friday through 4 a.m. Saturday. Winds from the south are expected to be as high as 40 mph, with gusts up to 55 mph.

The National Weather Service in Seattle said Friday's winds will come in a one-two punch. First, easterly winds will blow through the Cascade Mountains and through the Eastside early Friday morning. Later that morning, the wind will shift and start blowing from the south.

Still recovering from Western Washington wind storm

This week's storm killed two people, left hundreds of thousands without power, and caused widespread property damage. As of Thursday morning, more than 300,000 people across the region still lacked power after the lights went out on Tuesday. Puget Sound Energy says that it expects power to be restored for every customer by noon on Saturday.

"It's going to be cold, and so we don't want people bringing their propane heaters inside or the barbecues or using gas stoves for heat," Puget Sound Energy spokesperson Melanie Coon told KUOW. "People should not charge their cell phones in their cars with the garage door closed. That's another very dangerous thing to do. And for people who have generators, don't place them close to their home. That is a huge fire hazard."

Mary Kipp, Puget Sound Energy's president and CEO, further said the utility hasn't seen storm damage like this since January of 2012.

"We've had helicopters up inspecting damage so we can get an accurate assessment of exactly what's going on. And we've had crews out on the ground as well," Kipp said. "While we're doing that, we're also restoring power. We're trying to prioritize hospitals and schools."

Most outstanding outages are on the Eastside, between Bothell and Enumclaw. In that area, Redmond went under a local emergency proclamation as of Wednesday. The proclamation allows the city to respond more quickly to the storm's fallout. Redmond has opened warming and device charging centers at City Hall, as well as at the Redmond Senior Center, the Redmond Community Center, and at Marymoor Village.
