Wider weather episode

A strong surface low quickly deepened offshore due west of the mouth of the Columbia River and progressed towards the Olympic Peninsula allowing for a tight surface pressure gradient to drive strong to locally high winds region-wide. This surface gradient was also aided by a strong band of west-southwest winds just above the surface (often called a sting jet) which pivoted over the region through the day on Oct. 25th.
