The National Weather Service in Portland has issued a Wind

South winds are increasing this evening to 25 to 35 mph with
gusts to 45 mph... and will continue through most of the overnight
hours. The winds are being produced ahead of a strong Pacific

cold front moves through.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Wind Advisory is issued when sustained winds are forecast to be
31 to 39 mph or gusts will range between 45 and 57 mph. Winds of
these magnitudes may cause minor property damage without extra
precautions. Motorists in high profile vehicles should use
caution until the winds subside.

The first wave of strong winds hit the coastal areas earlier in the
day today... producing strong gusty south winds. In general... the
strongest winds were felt on the open beaches and headlands.

Gusty winds can also be expected throughout the Willamette Valley
evening as the frontal system moves closer to the coast.
