The storm poses significant risks to coastal areas, including potential flooding, hazardous surf conditions, and strong winds. Large waves could knock people off their feet, move debris, and exacerbate coastal erosion. Gusty winds may bring down branches and trees, potentially causing power outages and hazardous driving conditions. The Skokomish River is at risk of flooding due to increased rainfall in the Olympic Peninsula. Visitors to the coast, including areas like Westport, Ocean Shores, and Long Beach, are advised to exercise caution, especially near jetties and rocks, where large waves can appear suddenly.
