Strong winds are expected in parts of southwest Oregon through tomorrow.
The National Weather Service has posted a Wind Advisory for Douglas, Josephine and eastern Curry counties that runs from 1 p.m. today through 7 p.m. Wednesday.
Southeast winds from 20 to 30 miles per hour and gusts of up to 50 miles per hour are expected in the advisory areas.
The biggest impacts will affect areas of Douglas County above 2,000 feet. This includes portions of Interstate 5 near Canyon Creek Pass, Highway 138 and the communities of Steamboat, Toketee Falls and Azalea.
Gusty winds could blow around unsecured objects. Tree limbs could be blown down and a few power outages may result. Secure outdoor objects and prepare for the potential loss of electricity.
Motorists are urged to use extra caution when driving in these areas, especially if they are operating a high-profile vehicle like a commercial truck or an RV.
