Because our mountains tend to be smaller and isolated the grid averaging can make MWN “look” like 5,000 ft.
-
More or less. To keep the same amount of air flowing over the mountain it has to accelerate when the depth of flow shrinks.
-
Models don’t even resolve the terrain that well.
-
Yeah it’s not mixing down higher winds, it’s accelerating the background flow over.
-
See what happened on Sugarloaf also in that elevation range. Totally what you would expect for 120-140mph winds.

Franconia got beat up yesterday in the downslope, now getting it from the other side.
-
Try previous versions, I think our last one with snow was mid morning or so.
-
I’ve been tweeting about MWN for an hour you clown. If you want to see your town on the LSR/PNS you gotta report it.
-
They hit 148 mph a couple weeks ago, matching the Patriots Day storm.
-
MWN 171 mph! Highest ever Feb gust.
-
That was knots.
-
Did you report your top gust to them?
-
This is pretty much your high end NW flow event. And greatest pressure falls are just moving into the area so while they may not be as frequent with sunset, big, rogue gusts are still possible.
-
Yes, by quite a bit (it was 148 mph). Strongest since Oct 30, 2006 (158 mph), but I'm digging to see their last over 160.
-
MWN only needs 4 mph to tie the highest February wind gust on record (166 mph in 1972).
-
You can't delete anything from Twitter.
-
162 mph on the rock pile!
-
Kevin said we toss BDL today.
-
CON just tickled their best (48kt) of the day.
-
Hard to do it on CAA alone.
-
Peak wind 44kt on the METARs and SPECIs before the power failed. But BVY hit 54kt.
-
A squall basically has two definitions, either a sudden gust of wind or a localized storm. ASOS uses the former, and a snow squall is the latter.
-
As Brian said, they are a wind feature not precip. ASOS will report SQ whenever that criteria he quoted is met, AND the current wind is greater than 2kt and the potential SQ value is 3+kt greater than the current average wind, all of this over a 10 min period. The for instance lowest possible SQ report would be 3kt jumping to 22kt.
-
PWM with the SQ report as well (peak gust 46kt).
