That is insane. We've had many 60+mph gradient wind events over the years. The event in November 98 was probably the most impressive one that I've experienced, and there were gusts pushing 70mph with that. If we can get above 70mph with this that's extremely impressive. The GFS is downright scary to be sure.
High-res models continue to be less ominous, with the highest winds generally staying well northwest of the DVN/LOT cwas other than the brief window with the precip/fropa.
