Major Wind Event For Western Oregon and Washington
A major wind event is now probable for western Oregon and Washington, potentially the strongest windstorm so far this winter.
Very strong winds, with gusts to 50-80 mph, will move up the Oregon coast this evening and then pummel western WA in the morning hours, ending with a powerful surge of westerly winds in the Strait.
This is serious, so I would be prepared (batteries, don't drive around during strong winds, etc.). There will be power outages.
The 8 AM GOES-17 weather satellite imagery shows the storm west of northern CA and southern Oregon (you can see the swirl of the clouds).
Thinking about staying down on the island tonight - the power is more stable down here and I have a bunch of stuff I can be doing - sorting papers and working in the garage.
This is getting downright tiresome...
