BELLINGHAM, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – Fall weather is starting to hit the region this week.

The National Weather Service says a low pressure system is moving into western Washington Thursday, Sept. 24 into Friday, Sept. 25.

Bellingham is currently forecast to receive about an inch of rain through Friday evening, with wind gusts expected to reach 20 mph.

There’s also roughly a slight chance of thunderstorms Friday.

It’s expected to get drier throughout the weekend before rain and breezy winds return late Monday into Tuesday.

39-year-old Joel Ridley is scheduled to be sentenced in federal court in January 2027.

Bonnie Ross will succeed Jodi Joyce, who retired in June after six years in the position.

Baker merch, winter gear and mountain information are among the store's offerings.

It comes as Whatcom County saw a spike in immigration arrests over the summer.

Closures for the roadway are scheduled for Monday and Tuesday.
