Hey, good morning. It's Paige Browning. It's Tuesday. This is Seattle now.

Cases of whooping cough are exploding this year across Washington state. A big reason why is that fewer kids are vaccinated.

Coming up, we'll ask Dr. Helen Chu with UW Medicine about this and the other illnesses circulating.

But first, let's get you caught up.

Western Washington is in for a stormy day and night, with high wind warnings taking effect this afternoon for most of the region. In Seattle, expect gusts in the 30 miles per hour range and lots of rain.

Officials say, today is a good day to be alert. The safest place to be

Spot Saver Service. That's it for now.
