Powderfreak...you probably aren't going to see 65+ knot gusts in the interior around here most likely. You only see that type of winds about once every 50 years or so. 50-55 knots is very hard to get in itself. The hilltops will have a chance, but most ASOS stations in the interior are not on exposed hills or ridges...except ORH if the wind is gusting from the east or southeast. I'm sure a coastal ASOS station will get some gusts breaking 65 knots.

Most people have no idea how strong a 65 knot wind is. Most people probably have never been in winds of 65 knots.

NWS has winds in the upper 40s up here at Plymouth (41kts) and mid 50s down in ORH (48-49kts). Seems reasonable, although I wouldn't be surprised with a little higher in either location.

I've experienced 120+ knots in Andrew, words can't really give it justice.

Yeah they can always up it a bit if it looks like its going to come in more intense. I'd probably say gusts to 60 around here right now...some of the exposed hilltops/ridges may hit 70.

The Cape is a different story. They might get 60mph sustained for a bit if some of these soundings verify.

What are you thinking for KNWCT? Should I watch from home or school? home at 1k school at 500'
