Special Weather Statement issued July 22 at 5:00PM PDT by NWS Portland OR

July 22, 2024 - 5:00pm
Strong onshore flow has led to west winds gusting 35 to 45 mph this afternoon, which will continue into this evening. Locally stronger gusts of up to 65 mph have been observed in the most wind-prone locations. These winds will continue until about 8 PM, then gradually ease after sunset. Winds of this magnitude can blow around loose outdoor objects, so it is a good idea to secure them if possible. Some tree limbs may break, leading to isolated power outages this afternoon and evening.
