The National Weather Service's Seattle, WA, office issued a Storm Warning for coastal waters off Washington state, effective 1 p.m. PST Saturday, Nov. 14, 2026, through 1 a.m. PST Sunday, Nov. 15, 2026, with southeast winds of 35 to 46 mph (30 to 40 knots) and seas of 13 to 18 feet expected.

The warning covers waters stretching from Cape Flattery to Cape Shoalwater, out to 10 nautical miles. A Small Craft Advisory covering the same waters remained in effect until 1 p.m. PST, with south winds of 23 to 35 mph (20 to 30 knots) and seas of 15 to 20 feet, before the Storm Warning took effect.

The office said the winds would cause hazardous seas "which could capsize or damage vessels and reduce visibility," and it told mariners to "remain in port, alter course, and/or secure the vessel for severe conditions."
