A Pacific storm front is expected to bring high winds and possible flooding to area rivers and streams this week, according to the National Weather Service.
The agency has issued a high wind warning and flood watch for the north and central Oregon Coast and south Washington Coast beginning Monday (11/21) night. Sustained winds of up to 50 mph with gusts of up to 80 mph are forecast for beaches and headlands, with winds in coastal communities of 40 mph-sustained and 70 mph-gusts. High winds are expected to last through Tuesday night, potentially causing downed trees and power lines.
The storm is also forecast to bring several inches of rain to the Oregon Coast Range and Willapa Hills in Washington between Tuesday morning and Wednesday morning, potentially causing flooding in creeks and small rivers in Tillamook and Clatsop counties and southwest Washington counties.
A high surf advisory is also in effect for early Tuesday morning into Tuesday night.
