A wind advisory issued Tuesday by the National Weather Service has been cancelled as the storm has moved north.
Meanwhile, the weather service has issued a snow advisory for areas including Corvallis spanning from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday.
The advisory, which covered the central and south Willamette Valley, said 1 to 3 inches of snow are possible above 500 feet and that 1 inch is possible below 500 feet.
The advisory said the snow will be produced from showers, as low snow levels spread across the area. The snow level was expected to lower to 500 feet late tonight and near the valley floors on Wednesday night and Thursday morning.
On Tuesday afternoon, the university said high winds were affecting power in various campus buildings. It was unclear what buildings were affected and to what extent.
The campus alert said no danger was expected on the campus, but it advised that precautions should be taken for computer-based work, sensitive materials or research that could be affected by power outages.
