The National Weather Service in Portland reports there is a small chance that a few thunderstorms and showers could become strong enough Wednesday afternoon or early evening to reach severe levels.
This poses risks of damaging wind gusts up to 60 mph, the weather agency said, as well as large hail up to one inch in diameter.
Wind gusts on Wednesday are the most likely type of severe weather western Oregon faces.
Oregon has seen a notable amount of precipitation in April, which has helped relieve severe drought conditions in some parts of the state but has also caused notable damage at times. Parts of the state saw heavy, wet snow in mid-April leading to power outages and significant tree damage.
