Stormy Weather Descends on Western Oregon

Rainy and breezy weather is on its way to the south Willamette Valley and the Oregon coast, mainly Saturday. 

A cold front will push across the region later Friday afternoon and evening, bringing another round of rain. It’ll be breezy as well, with winds gusting 25 to 35 m.p.h. at times Friday evening.

A stronger front will push across the region later Saturday, with heavy rain. Winds will increase later Saturday afternoon, with gusts of up to 40 m.p.h. 

In the south Willamette Valley northward through the Cowlitz River Valley, no river flooding is expected.

But, in Coos, Douglas and Curry counties, there could be flooding of small streams and creeks.
