Our local South Eugene and Florence teams respond to storm damage emergencies every winter in Florence. During the winter months, you can expect a combination of weather conditions associated with the region's coastal climate. While winter storms can vary from year to year, here's a general overview of what you might experience during a typical winter storm in Florence:
Rain: Winter is characterized by frequent rainfall. Rainfall can be steady and sometimes heavy during winter storms. Coastal areas often receive a significant amount of precipitation during the wet season.
Wind: Strong winds are common along the Oregon coast during the winter months. Winter storms can bring gusty winds, which may lead to power outages, downed trees, and challenging driving conditions, especially on coastal highways.
High Surf: Winter storms can generate high waves and dangerous surf conditions along the coast. Coastal flooding and beach erosion can occur during periods of extreme weather, so residents and visitors should be cautious and stay informed about local warnings and advisories.
Mild Temperatures: Coastal areas like Florence tend to have milder winter temperatures compared to inland regions. While snowfall is rare near the coast, it can occasionally occur at higher elevations in the surrounding coastal mountains.
Flooding: The combination of heavy rainfall and the potential for rising rivers can lead to localized flooding, particularly in low-lying areas and along riverbanks.
Residents and visitors should stay informed about local weather forecasts and warnings issued by the National Weather Service and follow any recommendations or evacuation orders from local authorities during severe weather events.
