Severe Storm Definition
A severe storm is an atmospheric disturbance that results in one or more of the following phenomena:
- Strong winds and large hail
- Thunderstorms

Typically, severe storms impact transportation and cause utility loss. Most storms move into Oregon from the Pacific Ocean. The following are severe storm elements (using National Weather Service definitions):
High Winds
Storms with sustained winds of 40 mph or gusts of 58 mph or greater, not caused by thunderstorms, are expected to last for an hour or more.
Severe Thunderstorm
Storms that produce winds of 58 mph or greater or three-quarter inch or larger hail.
Tornado
A storm with a violently rotating column of air that contacts the ground. Tornadoes usually develop from severe thunderstorms and can produce winds of 100 to 300 mph.
Blizzard
A storm with considerable falling and/or blowing snow combined with sustained winds or frequent gusts of 35 mph or greater which often reduces visibility to less than one-quarter mile.
