  1. It’s tough to get a near instantaneous mechanical sensor since you need to get a specific number of revolutions per given time to determine a speed. There’s just not enough rev samples if you try to cut it down to under a second. Now they could be using a 3rd party ultrasonic sensor that would have instantaneous capability, but my assumption was that they had the cups. Here’s Davis’ speed equation calculation...
  2. I’ll add that the Davis is NOT instantaneous. It’s actually a 2.25 second average. There’s a magnetic reed switch that measures the amount of revolutions per the given time.
  3. There you have it. Time to retire that one or calibrate it. lol
  4. http://bluehill.org/observatory/2013/01/current-conditions/ Looks like the strongest their Davis has recorded back to 2004.
  5. Wasn't that W-SW? Are you blocked a bit to the SE? This guy has been over 50mph. https://mesowest.utah.edu/cgi-bin/droman/meso_base_dyn.cgi?stn=C0451&time=GMT
  6. I don't think it ends up that big of a deal for us. LLJ max is just too far SE.
  7. Not sure how it compares historically to the official gear... https://mesowest.utah.edu/cgi-bin/droman/meso_base_dyn.cgi?stn=C2236&time=GMT
  8. Is the TAN ASOS representative of anything in town?
  9. HIE could be pretty nasty too with the SSE downslope off the Whites. They could easily clear out too with that llvl sinking air.
  10. Already 91mph on MWN. Their big wind was an April event via SE winds. Maybe they can pull off a 140mph despite the meat of the LLJ being further south.
  11. Getting some good gusts in CON too. Glad I'm fairly clear to my south except for a large, albeit healthy and strong, oak.
  12. Nothing about his statement is untrue. From his post, I didn't get that he was meh'ing the wind on the S coast.
  13. Yeah this one has a lot going for it over the SNE high terrain and even the CT Valley. Areas that downslope on a S wind too. Immediate shore is a wildcard, but those winds will be roaring right off the deck. That's a healthy warm sector too...dews will be pushing 55-60F on the south shore so the cooler waters may not even matter much. We'll see.
