There is a risk of a pretty strong wind storm impacting the I-5 corridor from Weed, California north to the US/BC border on Christmas Eve.

Wind gusts to 115 km/h appear possible (but are on the high end of what's possible) with the strongest winds likely in W Oregon.

Now KMAX, KPDT and KTFX are down in addition to KRTX. What’s happening to the northwest’s radar sites?

Looks like Seattle is indeed going to get its first ever Severe Thunderstorm Watch! (Right on the edge it'll be close). 80% chance it will be issued; probably coming within the hour. #wawx

How rare is today's severe risk in the PacNW? IEM's SPC Day 1 Severe Risk database starts in 2002. #wawx #orwx

Since then, it's been 20 years for Olympia, 13 years for Seattle, 8 years for Portland, and for a small area a Slight Risk had not been issued before.

I have annotated the IEM map.
