Crescent City in far northern California has been getting some gusty winds for the last 30 minutes. I would think Oregon coast locations should start seeing a ramp up soon. http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mesowest/getobext.php?wfo=eka&sid=KCEC&num=72&raw=0
Yeah. I have been talking to people at work and people are buying into this being a big time storm. Someone up in Washington is going to get nailed pretty good, but it won't be anything super notable down here.
Anyone think PDX might not see a gust over 45 mph? I think the public is going to be pretty upset about the big media blowup once this afternoon turns out to be unimpressive down here.
Yeah, the Euro is showing a severe windstorm while the GFS is just a breezy day down here. If I had to bet I would probably go with the GFS, but who knows?
Changing my picture was a subtle way to announce my 2016-17 winter forecast. PDX will get 47 inches of snow in December. Nothing for the rest of the season.
