PORTLAND, Ore. – The warm days of summer and the crisp colors of fall will likely just be nice memories Thursday night as a one-two punch of rain, wind and mountain snow moves into the Northwest.

Coastal locations up and down the Oregon coast are on storm watch as the first storm comes ashore Thursday morning with high winds up to 60 mph that are expected to blow in along with heavy rain.

A high wind warning is in effect from Astoria to down past Newport. It expires at 8 p.m. Thursday. Coastal flooding is possible in Southwest Washington near the Long Beach area, especially around 1:30 p.m. Thursday at the peak of high tide.

Strong wave action is expected along Oregon and Washington beaches. Anyone thinking of taking a stroll on the beach is strongly advised to reconsider their destination.

Inland, wind gust up to 40 mph are expected in Willamette Valley locations, along with lots of rain. Temperatures will reach 60 degrees for high.

Over the weekend, a stronger, colder storm system will move in and drop the snow level to around 2,500 feet. Mountain locations could see over two feet of new snow – good news for Oregon ski resorts hoping for a strong traditional Thanksgiving weekend opening.
