AmericanWxFreak Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Were we only expecting the WOW stuff with the squall? Was def amazing here for a few mins, but will the rest of the night not touch that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Yeah, the HRRR nailed the timing and magnitude. Really impressive. Dominion VA showing about 20k out. A bunch near me, but luckily I'm still up. strong. We've had a few solid high wind events in cold season in recent years but I think tops in those was around 50mph widespread. This honestly isn't that different than a severe weather event. If this vort ran into an airmass in May we'd all be dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Were we only expecting the WOW stuff with the squall? Was def amazing here for a few mins, but will the rest of the night not touch that? The squall was going to be the best if it delivered, and it did. It'll still be quite windy overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Lots of thuds on the roof with this squall, T&L and heavy rain now. The sound of the wind is spooky. Impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailylurker Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Lots of thuds on the roof with this squall, T&L and heavy rain now. The sound of the wind is spooky. Impressive. I'm definitely satisfied. I actually ran for the door when the squall blasted through. It sounded like the trees wouldn't be able to handle it. It was definitely pretty wild. A+ on the wind event. Temp down to 42.

Ian Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Imagine there's a fair amount of damage but we did go in with fairly dry soil and leaves could be a lot fuller even here in the city. Tempted to wander a bit but I don't like walking in wind around here too many trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was definitely pretty wild. A+ on the wind event. Temp down to 42. Yeah I am ready for it to stop now lol. Still sounds really crazy out there. Wind events usually under perform here. Have not had anything like this probably since Irene. I had a big oak tree come down in that storm. Luckily, dry soil and no leaves now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 This fact has disappointed the hell out of me recently. Wind still ripping nicely outside. We got better wind though I think this part of the city was on the north end of that pulse that encompassed a large area west to south to se of the city mainly it seems.. but honestly I would probably take the lightning instead heh.
