High Wind Warning: Secure Loose Objects, Prepare for Outages
A High Wind Warning is in effect until noon PDT today for the North Oregon Coast Range and Willapa Hills, with winds up to 70 mph expected, prompting calls to secure loose objects and prepare for power outages.
Residents in the North Oregon Coast Range and Willapa Hills are urged to secure loose outdoor objects immediately as a High Wind Warning is in effect until noon PDT today, September 25, 2026. The National Weather Service (NWS) in Portland, OR, issued the warning at 10:50 AM PDT.
West winds of 30 to 40 mph, with gusts up to 70 mph, are expected. These strong winds can blow around unsecured items, damage tree limbs, and are expected to cause widely scattered power outages. The NWS highlights that full leaf cover on trees may increase the risk of wind damage at lower wind speeds than usual.
Driving will be difficult, especially for high-profile vehicles. Drivers should use extra caution. The warning expires at 12:00 PM PDT today.
