The Oregon coast is getting hammered. One NWS wind gust at 89mph....
.SHORT TERM...WV LOOP SHOWS VERY WELL DEFINED LOW NEAR 47N AND 132W.
IR SHIELD ILLUMINATES WARM CONVEYOR BELT AND BULK OF MOISTURE BEING
FED IN ON LOW LEVEL JET. DUE TO ITS ORIENTATION NOT A PERFECT
SCENARIO FOR OROGRAPHICS...THOUGH SOME SOUTH FACING SLOPES WILL BE
ABLE TO SQUEEZE A DECENT BATCH OF QPF...NEAR 1 INCH...OUT OF THIS
FRONT. THE WELL ADVERTISED WIND SPEEDS ARE DEFINITELY MAKING THEIR
PRESENCE KNOWN WITH MANY GUSTS ALONG THE COAST IN THE 80 MPH RANGE
WITH SOME LOCAL GUSTS TO 95 MPH. STRONGEST WINDS SHOULD BE IN THE
NEXT FEW HOURS AS FRONT MAKES ITS WAY ONSHORE.
