usedtobe Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 DC will not have 1-min averaged hurricane force winds. I think that is where the confusion lies. We might get close in gusts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Mets, does the increase in forward speed put our metro areas at greater risk for higher winds? Less interaction with land before the center is at it's closest to us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adelphi_sky Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Mets, does the increase in forward speed put our metro areas at greater risk for higher winds?

I thought I read on another region board that a faster storm would prevent it from making as sharp of a western hook as it is predicted to.
