pazzo83 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Get ready for the plunge. Temp has dropped in Winchester from 59 to 52 in about 35 minutes. Gusty NW winds. You guys might even dip down into the 40s. I hope you are all prepared and have stocked up appropriately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethesdaWX Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Wind is gusting pretty good now, sound through the trees is similar to a low flying jetplane. Advisory should have been issued, first WXbug station I clicked on has a 53mph gust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advisory should have been issued, first WXbug station I clicked on has a 53mph gust. I'm guessing LWX didn't because it does not fit the criteria of an advisory Wind Advisory A Wind Advisory is issued when the following conditions are expected for 3 hours or longer. 1) sustained winds of 31 to 39 mph AND/OR 2) wind gusts of 46 to 57 mph.

H2O Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 This is a wicked January cold front. Going to knock our high temps from +20 today all the way down to +12 tomorrow. Ouch. Baby steps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mappy Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 http://weather.weath...6286&stat=AWSHQ I'm at cider barrel drive at the moment. Do you expect the 50mph gusts to last 3 hours or more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethesdaWX Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Do you expect the 50mph gusts to last 3 hours or more? I assume so? It's been ~ 2hrs, I'm leaving for Glen Echo now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you shouldn't experience any winds like that in Glen Echo http://www.erh.noaa.gov/data/obhistory/KIAD.html IAD has only recorded gusts in the 30s the last two hours.

mappy Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 my highest gust out in MRB has been 39. out in Elkins the gusts have only been in the 20s.

MN Transplant Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Bunch of intersections w/o power in NW DC. Couldn't hop on The Clara Barton because something was down in the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Pretty consistent gusts to the 30mph range, which is solid since that is through several oak trees. DCA and BWI: 36 IAD: 31 JYO: 45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethesdaWX Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I've been without phone power for 6hrs, that's a first since everything else is running fine. Highest gust here was WNW at 46mph, so not as strong as recorded in G-town but still had frequent gusts in the 30-40mph range. The drive home was pretty bad, dark intersections during friday eve rush hour really blow. I thought avoiding I270 would be a good move but it backfired. Wet soil apparently didn't help the trees...or PEPCO just sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

das Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 State of the Snowpack this morning: I wonder if Clarksburg will get a pixel on NIC IMS? Not much of a cold front yesterday. We bottomed out at 33.7F last night, even with winds going nearly calm and very little cloud cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could sure use the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
