Stupid Accuweather Less Stupid Now

The Accuweather forecasters, who had been predicting a rare Oregon hurricane—an inland one, at that!—for Sunday in Eugene, are coming to their senses. They've ditched the forecast of 17 mph winds with gusts of 35 mph. Now they're saying 11 mph winds with gusts of 20 mph. That's still a very windy day, but I have a feeling this walk back has just begun.

UPDATE: National Weather Service forecast discussion this morning is looking good:

ON SAT...BOTH GFS AND ECWMF CONTINUE TO SHOW WARM FRONT LIFTING ACROSS THE REGION. EVEN THOUGH BEST THREAT OF SHOWERS/RAIN IS OVER W WASHINGTON AND BRIT COL...FEEL WILL HAVE TO KEEP CHANCE OF SHOWERS OVER NW OREGON MAINLY N OF A NEWPORT TO SALEM TO MT JEFFERSON LINE. THEN APPEARS WILL HAVE HIGH PRES RIDGE BUILDING OVER THE REGION SUN INTO MON...WITH DRIER AND MILDER WEATHER.
