The National Weather Service in Seattle has issued a wind advisory for the greater Seattle area including Shoreline and Lake Forest Park. The wind advisory is in effect from Sunday 12pm until 6pm.

• What: Southwest winds 25 to 35 mph with gusts to 45 mph expected Sunday afternoon.

We have a fairly strong storm system moving through the area Sunday. Aside from the gusty winds we are also expecting a quarter to a half inch of rain. 

Some isolated thunderstorms are possible as well in the mix of weather for Sunday. Behind the cold front is much colder air, expected to get cold enough for some rain and snow mix Sunday night into Monday morning.

Bottom line: Stormy day for Sunday with strong winds, rain, slight chance of a thunderstorm. Sunday night brings a slight chance of some snow and rain mixed, but no accumulations are expected.
