- Another gusty/active night for the coast, but the worst is behind us
- Showers continue through Monday
- Drier next week, another shower chance Wednesday
FIRST ALERT: DANGEROUS SURF
Spots along the coast did experience max gusts in the 40-60mph range Saturday, with the strongest wind along the south coast. Wave heights have started to fall since this morning for most of our buoys. We’ll get another round of higher-than-normal wave heights Sunday evening with the second system that moves through. 20-30 foot breaking waves are possible, with the High Surf Warning along the southern Oregon coast extending through Monday night. Most of the Oregon coastline is under a High Surf Advisory through Monday morning- not quite as dramatic of waves expected there.
We are no longer under a First Alert Weather Day for the coast! The most dangerous conditions have passed although conditions in the ocean will remain churned up through the weekend. Make sure to heed all coastal warnings!
ANOTHER ROUND OF BREEZY SHOWERS
It was gusty overnight, but we didn’t pick up nearly as much rain as models were indicating… the Portland International Airport technically only got a trace amount so far Saturday. Meanwhile, Salem picked up almost a quarter inch from midnight to 5 a.m.
It’ll be gusty again overnight tonight as another front pushes through. The wettest time for us west of the Cascades will be tonight through early Sunday morning. Gusts around 25 miles per hour inland are likely. There is a slight chance for a rumble of thunder and heavier showers along the coast tomorrow…
