A TSUNAMI WATCH has been issued for the U.S west coast, including Washington. This means a tsunami is *possible*...that could change. Have an evacuation plan in place is case this is upgraded to a warning. So far, projected arrival times for the WA coast are ~ 11:30-midnight.

A TSUNAMI WATCH means a tsunami is *possible*, but not imminent or certain. The NW Interior coastline is also under a Tsunami Watch, with arrival between midnight and 1:30 a.m. This could get downgraded to cancellation or upgraded to a warning: prepare to take action if needed.

The "red squiggle" you see is the tsunami's impact, showing that the waves are not behaving as they normally would. Only minor impacts expected near the WA shorelines--including stronger currents/choppier seas--but please stay away from the water until the all clear is given.

Our forecasters are monitoring smoke from #wildfires as it spreads across parts of the US. Whether you're in the air or on the ground, smoke can reduce visibility for aircraft and also make the sunlight look a little strange. Here's why the sunlight might look odd. #avgeeks
