High Wind Warnings in Effect Across Several States
Severe weather conditions are impacting various regions across the United States, prompting high wind warnings and advisories.
In western Washington, a “bomb cyclone” is expected to bring damaging winds, particularly along the coast and in the Cascade foothills. The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a High Wind Warning from 2 p.m. Tuesday to 4 a.m. Wednesday, predicting wind speeds between 30 to 40 mph with gusts up to 65 mph. These strong winds may lead to downed trees, powerlines, and potential power outages. A Blizzard Warning is also in effect for parts of the Cascades, where snow accumulations of 4 to 12 inches are anticipated, and a flood watch has been issued for portions of Mason County.
In Kansas City, high winds have already caused outages for over 13,000 customers, with gusts reaching up to 61 mph recorded. The NWS has extended a high wind warning until 10 p.m. Monday, with sustained winds expected between 25-40 mph and gusts potentially hitting 60 mph. Residents are advised to prepare for continued power outages and hazardous travel conditions.
Similarly, Oregon is facing its own high wind challenges, with warnings issued for Clatsop County, Tillamook County, and the Central Coast. The NWS predicts south winds of 25 to 40 mph, with gusts reaching up to 60 mph, effective from Tuesday 4 p.m. to Wednesday 4 a.m. Dangerous travel conditions are expected, particularly for high-profile vehicles.
Residents in affected areas should exercise caution, stay informed about travel conditions, and prepare for potential power outages as strong winds and severe weather continue to develop across the region.
