SEATTLE (AP) — The National Weather Service says a strong frontal system blowing in from the Pacific will bring wet and windy weather to Western Washington into Wednesday.

Forecasters expect Monday night winds on the coast of 40 mph with gusts to 60 mph.

Heavy rain could cause flooding in parts of Grays Harbor, Mason, Clallam, Jefferson and Whatcom counties. Four-to-6 inches of rain expected on the Olympics will likely drive the Skokomish and Bogachiel rivers to flood stage. And 3-to-4 inches of rain in the Mount Baker area could flood the Nooksack River.

Freezing rain Monday could make driving hazardous in the Cascade passes. And snow or freezing rain is likely Monday from the east slopes of the Cascades through the Wenatchee and Moses Lake areas and into the Yakima Valley and lower Columbia basin.
