Along the coast, gusts of 70-85 mph are possible, with gusts of 60-70 mph in the north interior.

High Wind Watches are in effect for the rest of Western Washington, including the Seattle-Tacoma area, with wind gusts possibly reaching 50-60 mph, with highest gusts on Tuesday.

In addition, Flood Watches are in effect for all rivers that feed off the Olympic Mountains, as well as rivers in Whatcom, Skagit and Snohomish Counties.

In the Quad Cities, rain and wind gusts up to 25-29 mph are forecast through Tuesday, with highs in the low 50s in the Valley and in the 40s for the Palouse.
