30 mph on my partially sheltered wireless PWS which probably translates to 40 mph actual. Not that much rain, though, just 0.61” on the day.

Newport Airport gusting to 58 now. We are somewhat sheltered from south winds but you can hear the roaring. It’s actually getting fairly intense out there.

tropical tidbits is NO MORE

Yaquina Bay gusting to 76-- gonna be interesting to see how the sting jet manifests.

Windstorms will be un-forecastable for many more years. It's just too complicated and the balances of heat and motion too delicate. And our terrain too varied. Kind of makes you think that a good chunk of our best "surprise" windstorms are self selecting, since in subtle situations slight variances in starting conditions make big changes in wind distribution. And models will almost always have slightly wrong starting conditions; ergo; if there were a sneaky windstorm afoot models may be unlikely to pick up on the exact specific path that low would take, missing the high-end gusts regardless of their unlikeliness relative to climo.
