...HIGH WIND WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM TUESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
LATE TUESDAY NIGHT...

* WHAT...South winds 25 to 35 mph with gusts up to 60 mph possible.

* WHERE...North and Central Coast of Oregon.

* WHEN...From Tuesday afternoon through late Tuesday night.

* IMPACTS...Damaging winds could blow down trees and power lines.
  Widespread power outages are possible. Travel could be difficult,
  especially for high profile vehicles.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Strongest winds near the beaches and
  headlands.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Fasten loose objects or shelter objects in a safe location prior to
the onset of winds.

A High Wind Watch for the coastal headlands and beaches means a
hazardous high wind event is possible in areas along the immediate
coast. Many of the headland areas and beaches are vulnerable to very
strong wind gusts that may pose a safety hazard for individuals or
high profile vehicles. The strong winds may also cause property
damage. Sustained wind speeds of at least 40 mph or gusts of 58 mph
or more are possible. Coastal headlands are characterized by high,
rocky shores and steep sea cliffs.

Consider sleeping in a location that is furthest away from large
trees and power lines. Be aware of your surroundings and where you
are relative to nearby trees and powerlines.

Prepare for potential power outages. If you have a gas-powered
generator, ensure you have enough fuel. Ensure you have batteries,
flashlights, and a way to maintain a safe body temperature if you
were to lose heating and cooling.

Consider storing perishable refrigerated food items and/or
medications in a large cooler filled with ice.

Monitor the latest forecasts and warnings for updates.
