There are wild fires from Northern CA to Washington State that are being fanned by a major LOW pressure cell causing high winds, just like the Atlantic storm season.
I specifically called out Salem, Oregon since this where @jssailem lives. [current weather there as this posting]
Note the LOW that is forcing winds near 25 knots gusts.
John sent me this picture of Salem at noon time today...
He called it "Armageddon", but his home safe so far.
If you go to Windy.com you can see live webcams of this Pacific Ocean caused problem.

John has been sailing and is in Harbor at Port Townsend marina tonight and his wife is ok, but at home.
Per his AIS on board...
This LOW will move south and should slow the winds in the morning. No rain till the weekend.
