Greenleaf, OR Weather Warnings

Issue Date: 838 AM PDT Sat May 28 2022
...A sudden burst of strong west winds late Saturday afternoon into Saturday evening... After breezy south winds along the central coast of Oregon this morning, a temporary lull in the winds may develop this afternoon as a low pressure approaches the coast. Do not be fooled into thinking the winds are over when this happens. Unusually strong west to northwesterly wind gusts of 40 to 55 mph will likely spread into the area suddenly late this afternoon or this evening...mainly along the Lane County coastline and adjacent higher terrain in the Coast Range. Isolated tree damage and power outages will be possible given the unusual wind direction and deciduous trees being nearly fully leafed out. Boaters on the Siuslaw River, particularly near Florence and the mouth of the Siuslaw River should be prepared for rapidly deteriorating conditions late this afternoon or evening. These strong winds will likely push farther up the river than what is typical and could extend upriver of Mapleton.
