The local office's own words before this high wind warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 3, 2:32 AM PST, 55 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PORTLAND OR
232 AM PST MON DEC 3 2012
.SYNOPSIS...A LARGE SCALE UPPER LOW OVER THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC WILL
CONTINUE TO USHER WEATHER DISTURBANCES INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
THROUGH MID WEEK. A WEAK DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE OFF TO THE EAST EARLY
TODAY BUT ONSHORE FLOW WILL KEEP A RELATIVELY STEADY DIET OF SHOWERS
ACROSS SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON AND NORTHWEST OREGON UNTIL LATER
TODAY...WITH SNOW IN THE CASCADES. A STRONG FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS
OUR FORECAST AREA LATER TONIGHT AND TUESDAY FOR INCREASING RAIN THAT
COULD BE LOCALLY HEAVY...STRONG WINDS ESPECIALLY NEAR THE COAST...
AND RISING SNOW LEVELS. THE FRONT MAY TAKE SOME TIME TO MOVE THROUGH
OUR AREA...MAINTAINING FAIRLY HEAVY RAIN AT TIMES WELL INTO TUESDAY
NIGHT. ONSHORE FLOW WILL WEAKEN FOR DECREASING SHOWERS ON WEDNESDAY.
THE MODELS ARE SHOWING AN UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM DROPPING IN FROM THE
NORTHWEST LATER THIS WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND FOR COOLER SHOWERS AND
LOWERING SNOW LEVELS.
&&
.SHORT TERM...A DECENT SHORT WAVE WAS MOVING THROUGH WESTERN
WASHINGTON AND NORTHWEST OREGON EARLY THIS MORNING...PRODUCING
SHOWERS IN THE MODERATE ONSHORE LOW LEVEL FLOW. THERE WERE EVEN A
COUPLE OF LIGHTNING STRIKES BORDERING THE SEATTLE FORECAST AREA. ONCE
THIS DISTURBANCE PASSES THROUGH THIS MORNING...THE ONSHORE FLOW AND
850 MB WINDS WILL TAKE A WHILE TO SUBSIDE. WILL KEEP THE SNOW
ADVISORY IN THE NORTH OREGON CASCADES UNTIL 10 AM...BUT EXTEND IN THE
SOUTH WASHINGTON CASCADES UNTIL 4 PM AS THE MODELS ARE INSISTENT THAT
DECENT QPF WILL EXTEND INTO THE AFTERNOON IN THAT AREA.
A STRONGER STORM SYSTEM IS TAKING SHAPE OUT ALONG 40N BETWEEN 140W
AND 150W. THIS IS TO DEVELOP INTO A STRONG COLD FRONT OFF OUR COAST
TONIGHT THAT WILL MOVE ONSHORE TUESDAY MORNING. THE MODELS CONTINUE
TO ADVERTISE POSSIBLE HIGH WIND ALONG THE COAST LATE TONIGHT AND
EARLY TUESDAY...ESPECIALLY NEAR BEACHES AND HEADLANDS...AND WILL
CONVERT TO A WARNING THIS MORNING. THERE WILL BE SOME SNOW IN THE
CASCADES INITIALLY WITH THIS SYSTEM BEFORE THE SNOW LEVELS HAVE A
CHANCE TO RISE MUCH...WHICH THEY WILL DO LATER TONIGHT AND ON
TUESDAY. THE MODELS AT THIS POINT SUGGEST THAT ONLY A FEW INCHES OF
SNOW WILL FALL BEFORE THE CHANGEOVER TO RAIN.
THE RAIN ITSELF COULD BE HEAVY AT TIMES TONIGHT AND TUESDAY...WITH
PWS PUSHING 1.5 INCHES FEEDING INTO THE FRONTAL BAND FROM THE
SUBTROPICS. THE MODELS TAKE SOME TIME TO ACTUALLY FINISH PUSHING THE
FRONTAL BAND THROUGH OUR FORECAST AREA AS SECONDARY WAVES MOVE ALONG
THE FRONT. THE FRONT MAY NOT MOVE THROUGH OUR AREA POSSIBLY NOT UNTIL
TUESDAY NIGHT. OUR RIVERS HAVE BEEN RUNNING ON THE HIGHER SIDE AFTER
ALL THE RAIN WE HAVE HAD DURING THE WEEK OR SO...SO WE WILL HAVE TO
WATCH THESE CAREFULLY. THE CURRENT RIVER FORECASTS GENERALLY STAY
BELOW FLOOD STAGE BUT ONLY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS COULD CHANGE THAT. WILL
ALSO NEED TO WATCH FOR POSSIBLE URBAN FLOODING AS WELL.
WEDNESDAY LOOKS LIKE DECREASING SHOWERS BEHIND THE TUESDAY
SYSTEM...WITH LOWERING SNOW LEVELS BUT DECREASING ONSHORE FLOW.
TOLLESON
.LONG TERM...NO CHANGES. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...
WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...THE EXTENDED FCST REMAINS FAIRLY
UNCERTAIN AS THE MODEL ENSEMBLES SHOW A CONSIDERABLE SPREAD FOR THE
SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK INTO NEXT WEEKEND. THE STRONG FRONT AND
ASSOCIATED UPPER LEVEL ENERGY SHOULD HAVE PASSED OFF TO THE EAST BY
WED NIGHT. IT APPEARS THAT WE WILL REMAIN IN A QUIET PERIOD FROM THU
INTO THE WEEKEND AS THE MODEL 500 MB HEIGHT FIELD IS FAIRLY FLAT. AN
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE IS PROGGED TO DEVELOP OVER THE NE PAC...BUT IT IS
UNCLEAR IF THE RIDGE WILL BE ABLE TO PUSH INTO THE PAC TO KEEP US
DRY. AT THIS POINT...IT APPEARS THAT THE RIDGE WILL STAY FARTHER WEST
AND THE PAC NW WILL REMAIN IN THE CYCLONIC UPPER LEVEL FLOW REGIME
EAST OF THE RIDGE. THIS WOULD LIKELY MEAN WE WOULD REMAIN CLOUDY WITH
PERIODIC CHANCES FOR LIGHT PRECIP. HOWEVER...WITH PLENTY OF SPREAD
REMAINING IN THE ENSEMBLES...FCST CERTAINLY SUBJECT TO CHANGE OVER
THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. PYLE
&&
.AVIATION...COOL UNSTABLE ONSHORE FLOW CONTINUES...WITH SCATTERED
SHOWERS. PREDOMINATELY VFR CONDITIONS TODAY AND THIS EVENING. THRU
18Z...WILL HAVE AREAS OF MVFR CIGS NEAR 2000 FT EXTENDING FROM THE
COAST INTO THE INTERIOR LOWLANDS N OF SALEM. SHOWERS DECREASING AFTER
