Windstorm Takes Aim at NW Oregon..biggest since 95?

A high wind warning has now been issued for NW Oregon from 10 PM tonight until 4 AM Monday Morning by the National Weather Service in Portland. We can expect winds to be at least 55-60mph for gusts, and we can also expect this storm to be one of the biggest since 1995 and could fit in to the top 5 windstorms in the NW at the end of the night. Im a bit concearned about this situation due to the low, it that low bombs, then you get a huge rush of air to the center of the low (also called cyclongenesis) and thus; produces even more damaging winds which wern't predicted. We will be keeping an eye on this low and if that is the case, then we will report that back to you as soon as possible. Stay tuned to KGW or KPTV and The Weather Blog for more important weather updates.
