Strong Wind in Western Columbia River Gorge, Oregon

Weather stations recorded wind gusts generally up to 45 mph, with the highest wind recorded in Corbett. There was one fatality and three injuries on the Columbia River near Multnomah Falls, where rough conditions caused a boat to capsize.

A strong low pressure system moves northeasterly up the Oregon and Washington coast, creating a strong pressure gradient across the area.
