PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The Latest on a powerful windstorm approaching the Northwest coast (all times local):

11:10 a.m.

A powerful storm developing from the remnants of a Pacific typhoon is gathering intensity off the Northwest coast.

The National Weather Service is warning about widespread damage when the storm reaches land Saturday afternoon and evening. Meteorologist Tyree Wilde says gusts along the central Oregon coast are already reaching 63 mph, and they could hit upward of 80 mph Saturday afternoon.

Inland, the winds are forecast to be weaker at 50 to 60 mph, but still strong enough to knock down trees and cut power to thousands. Wilde says the damage will be exacerbated because many trees still have their leaves, and thus catch more wind and are more likely to topple.

The storm is moving north and expected to rake Washington later Saturday. It follows a separate storm that brought a tornado to Manzanita, Oregon, Friday.
