Like you mentioned AG and Alton..........Thursday - Sunday all have some serious potential to deliver. Let's hope the winds come during daylight hours for you. Saturday is looking especially good 96 hours out. Looks like a crazy strong occluded front should spin off that low and give you guys SE 35-50+ mph winds. The winter season is coming early!!
Cheers,
Chris
SE Saturday
Thanks Chris. Are you in the vicinity these days?
Keep the stoke coming!

Hey George,
I'm still flying overseas on a 4/4 rotation with BP in the Caspian Sea. No shortage of wind in Baku, Azerbaijan!
You guys are going to have a great stretch of wind from Thursday right through Sunday. Saturday is already looking extremely interesting to my eye 4 days out. There's the leftover typhoon remnants coming into the mix that will add energy to the parent low and anything that spins off it towards you guys.
The jet stream is really forecast to strengthen from Friday night into Sunday morning. This will further add energy to the occluded front that will likely swing through the Lower Mainland on Saturday.
Timing the wind is everything but I'm going to go out on a limb and predict SE 50+ mph gusts locally on Saturday. There's some extremely favourable wording already being tossed around by the head NWWS forecasters for a potential "wind event" for the Northwest Interior this Saturday.
I'll keep watching as the week moves on. You guys and girls are lucky to have this kind of start to the season. Warm temperatures and a train of low pressure systems lined up and set to march in. I wish I was camped out at 3rd for the next week instead of working
Cheers,
Chris

How about Hurricane Force 65-70 knots and 30-35 waves 
Check out the synopsis just posted for this weekend from the head NWWS forecaster...
"Next on the list: the extratropical remnants of Supertyphoon
Songda for later Saturday or Saturday night. The incoming GFS
shows this system filling as it loses tropical characteristics on
its trek across the Pacific along 40-45N, then explosively deepens
it to 950-955 mb over the offshore waters before it curls
northeast and north into northern Vancouver Island Saturday night.
This system will have 50 kt winds rotating around it over a very
large area, and the bent back occlusion to its south will likely
have hurricane force winds of 65 to 70 kt. Winds this strong -
with a dynamic fetch across the Pacific as well, will result in
very high seas most likely around 40 feet over the offshore
waters and 30-35 ft over the coastal waters. High winds appear
most likely later Saturday into early Sunday on the coast and in
the north interior of Western Washington. The high seas will cause
serious beach erosion and may result in salt water flooding on the
ocean beaches sometime between Saturday and Sunday. Stay tuned.
As mentioned above, will let the next shift issue watches if
needed after taking a closer look at incoming 00z model data. No
short term change is needed tonight. Albrecht"

Alton you might have to bust out the windsurf gear.
I'm hoping for some good TOW at WR
