.DISCUSSION...Gusty, breezy, slighthly stronger than typical,
westerly winds will continue during the late morning through
early evening hours from Sunday through Tuesday. Also, colder than
normal temperatures will trend colder through Tuesday night. The
enhanced wind speeds are due to a series of disturbances that
will focus their energy upon northwest Oregon, leaving mere
occasional increases in clouds for the site. More typical, warmer
and drier conditions with weaker westerly breezes are expected
Wednesday into Friday. A stronger, wet, cold front is possible on
Saturday.
