An “Oregon wind shear” is a local phenomenon with amazing intensity. I was climbing and experienced a similar example at about 2000 MSL. Even if it is calm on the surface, be extremely careful climbing out if you see this type of forecast or PIREP. I know!

Not uncommon to see calm surface winds @ TRK and 50kts or more on Mt Rose near the airport. Mountains do funny things with the wind. Low level shear can get your attention no doubt .
