High Wind Warning on the Oregon Coast & Wind Advisory in the valley. Dave Salesky breaks it down

KATU has declared a Storm Tracker 2 Weather Alerts for strong winds along the Oregon Coast.

Gusty winds will also spread into the Willamette Valley and southwest Washington Tuesday evening, going into Wednesday morning.

The National Weather Service in Portland has issued a High Wind Warning for strong southerly winds along the beaches and headlands.

“Peak wind gusts will approach 60 mph,” Storm Tracker 2 Meteorologist Dave Salesky said.

“Damaging winds will blow down trees and power lines. Widespread power outages are expected. Travel will be difficult, especially for high-profile vehicles,” the agency said.

In the Willamette Valley, NWS Portland has issued a Wind Advisory that will begin at 8 p.m. tonight and will go until 4 a.m. Wednesday morning.

“Wind gusts will approach 45 mph late tonight through early Wednesday morning,” Salesky stated.

“Gusty winds will blow around unsecured objects. Tree limbs could be blown down and a few power outages may result,” NWS Portland said.

Just after 6 p.m. Tuesday, the National Weather Service issued a Flood Warning for Grays River in Wahkiakum County.

"Above 28.5 feet, expect some flooding of roads along and near the Grays River, especially downstream of the gage, including roadway approaches to the Altoona Bridge over the Grays, and portions of Covered Bridge Road, Barr-Durrah Road, and Loop Road near Rosburg and Hwy 4," NWS Portland said.

Storm Tracker 2 Meteorologists Dave Salesky and Rhonda Shelby will have the latest on the strong winds on KATU News at 11 p.m. and KATU News This Morning starting at 4:30 a.m.
