Downed trees. Power outages. A blustery bike commute.

Strong winds are causing problems throughout the Portland area, which remains under a wind advisory until 7 p.m. Tuesday.

Hang-ups include the following:

A tree is blocking Southwest Capitol Highway near Nevada Court. The arterial is closed in the area.

A tree is down on Southwest Terwilliger Boulevard just south of Lewis & Clark College.

Southwest Humphrey Boulevard is closed in both directions because of a downed tree, according to the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office

A tree or pole is down on Southeast Milwaukie Avenue and Rhone Street.

Over 1,400 Portland General Electric customers are without power in Multnomah, Clackamas and Washington counties. (Treat any malfunctioning traffic light as an all-way stop.)

The wind advisory, which covers the Portland and Vancouver areas, warns of isolated power outages and the possibility of uprooted trees and downed limbs.

The National Weather Service also advises drivers of high-profile vehicles to be aware of strong and gusty cross-winds, especially over the Glenn Jackson Bridge.
