PNW WIND EVENT FRIDAY | SOME POWER OUTAGES LIKELY⚠️💨 a strong fall storm will move across Washington and Oregon late today into Friday bringing a widespread round of gusty winds from the Pacific Coast all the way into the Inland Northwest!
The strongest winds initially develop along the Oregon and southwest Washington coast tonight into Friday morning as a rapidly strengthening pressure gradient accompanies low pressure moving toward the coast. Coastal Oregon could see widespread gusts around 35-50 mph with even stronger winds over the adjacent coastal waters. Northwestern Oregon and southwestern Washington will also turn quite windy as the system moves inland, including portions of the Portland-Vancouver metro and Willamette Valley.
Western Washington becomes increasingly windy Friday as the surface low approaches. The Washington coast is currently expected to see gusts around 35-45 mph Friday morning while winds funneling through the Strait of Juan de Fuca could produce 35-45 mph gusts Friday afternoon and evening. There is still some uncertainty in the exact track of the low - a farther-south track could increase the wind threat, with a small chance of gusts approaching 55 mph around Grays Harbor County.
The wind threat then shifts east of the Cascades Friday afternoon and evening as a strong cold front crosses the region. Much of eastern Washington could see gusts of 35-45 mph, particularly across the Columbia Basin, Waterville Plateau, Palouse and toward the Spokane area. Southeastern Oregon will also become windy with the frontal passage, where gusts around 35-40 mph are possible.
With many trees still carrying leaves, winds of this magnitude could bring down smaller limbs and produce isolated to scattered power outages, especially where soils become saturated from the accompanying rain. Loose outdoor objects should be secured before the strongest winds arrive. This will be a very fall-like storm: widespread rain, strong winds, sharply cooler temperatures, rough coastal waters and snow on the highest Cascade and Olympic peaks. Conditions improve quickly Friday night into Saturday⚠️💨
