Rtd208 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Good agreement between the GFS and Euro on the 60KT LLJ max that we be able to mix down to the surface in gusts early tomorrow. The GFS and Euro are a few miles further north with this feature across the area than the NAM. gfsNE_925_spd_021.gif I think its quite possible a few areas see winds gust up to 70 mph.

SnowGoose69 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 i have never seen a wind event like this There are not many W or NW wind events here with several hours gusting over 50. I remember only a few real bad ones from that direction and I'm not sure either got over 50 for long. There was one in November 1990 and another in October 2003.

You go into the Shen Valley, esp towards the ridges and you can get winds like that. But definitely not in the DC metro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
