- Water over the roadway at corner of Barrett and Paradise Roads
- WDFW parking lot on Marine Drive flooded

Another notable closure is VanderYacht Park which was closed Friday due to strong winds and remains closed in anticipation of tonight’s windstorm.
While a constant rain has been falling this morning, it has only resulted in about 0.10 inches of measurable precipitation. As a result, there has been no reported surface water flooding reported.
