Kmlwx Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Still not a ton of wind here. A few nice gusts here and there but nothing over 40 I don't think. Lots of rain though. We'll see if it continues to intensify (the winds that is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlwx Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 the wind peak on MOS has been near the rain tail. Most modeling I believe didn't have really good winds getting in here until later anyway. A look at the PEPCO map is pretty revealing - PG has it worst and west of there it tapers quickly. I think areas back here are having issues mixing the winds. I have not had anything close to DC's 50mph gust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlwx Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 yeah.. i think we've performed or overperformed on wind thus far. I still think I do "well" on winds later on. During the period when it was supposed to be bad. There was also a post over in the main forum about the LLC and the MLC decoupling. Could spell decent weakening trend at least in the words of a red tagger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BethesdaWX Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Midlo has had to retreat to the middle of his house because of wind gusts in past 20 mins Yeah it's really ripping down there, can be seen on velocity scans (vaguely). N/NNE movement of the wind core though, not sure if it is valid or not, Hurricane expert on TWC stating repeatedly that the Richmond area has seen hurricane force gusts and heading for DC/Baltimore Metro Areas later tonight.

09-10 analogy Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Just hoofed it a bit around the neighborhood. Not much tree debris (leaves, small twigs) on the streets. I don't think the winds have been much above 40 (yet) but they've been sustained in the 25-30 range for a while now. I'm kind of hoping all the events of the past year and a half (09-10 snowstorms, summer of 2010 thunderstorms, Jan 26) have brought down a lot of the weaker stuff and we won't have the kind of power outages we had during Isabel (which I still think, of all the events since then, caused more and longer power outages than anything else).
