[pct-l] More Severe Oregon/Washington Weather Tue & Wed

[Dr. Ritchey A. Ruff]

 From the current (8PM on Monday 18-Aug-2008) NOAA report:

...AN UNSEASONABLY STRONG WEATHER SYSTEM WILL MOVE OVER SOUTHWEST 
WASHINGTON AND NORTHWEST OREGON LATE TUE THROUGH WED...

THIS STORM WILL HAVE A FAIRLY RAPID ONSET AND PRODUCE BACK COUNTRY 
CONDITIONS THAT WILL BE CHALLENGING AT BEST...WITH COOL 
TEMPERATURES...WINDY CONDITIONS...COPIOUS RAIN AND EVEN HEAVY SNOW AT 
THE VERY HIGHEST ELEVATIONS.

Take care TUE and WED!!!  They refer to it as a winter storm (gale force 
winds on the coast et al).

I'm going to be hitting Mt. Hood on Thursday so I hope things mellow my 
then.
