A cool and unstable airmass over northwest Oregon and southwest Washington today will result in scattered showers and thunderstorms through Wednesday evening. Stronger showers and thunderstorms will have the potential to produce locally damaging wind gusts up to 60 mph and/or a funnel cloud or brief tornado. If you see a funnel cloud or a tornado, or if a Tornado Warning or a Severe Thunderstorm Warning is issued for your area, you should go to an interior room on the lowest floor of your residence. In addition, you should take actions to protect your head, such as getting under a sturdy table. If you are outdoors and cannot get to shelter, get in a ditch or culvert and cover your head. Never go under an overpass during high winds or a tornado. |
