OceanStWx Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Hey @powderfreak, this might be the downslope winds beginning. That high velocity in northern NH and western ME is not just due to the beam being elevated and into the LLJ. That is immediately downstream of the high terrain. So we're either sampling the downsloping (it is about 5,000 feet) or it is some kind of standing wave (which means conditions are favorable for downslope winds anyway).

Not bad for this early. Lahiff at BTV already gusted to 51mph on his home station on the west slopes east of the WFO. Downslope zones will get the highest interior winds. They looked to be mixing down the 3000ft level at times so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 This is awesome meteorology. Winds still fairly light in the immediate Lake Champlain region of the valley while downslope wind gusts 40-50mph have occurred along the western slopes of the Greens. See our latest Public Information Statements (PNS) for the latest reports. Mountain wave activity seen nicely on the radar base velocity with wind speeds exceeding 50 kts. This is just a taste of things to come. Highest resolution models have best handle on the mountain wave phenomena as local BTV 2km, its time lag, HiResARW, and HRRR has best handle on wind gusts which are confined to a small area west of the mountains at the moment. They are in general agreement that the highest winds will occur when the low level jet maxes out between 06-12z with the core of the jet of 90-105kt 3-5k feet. Froude numbers running just over 1 indicative of downslope wind storms. The Froude creeps a bit over 1 during the core of the jet so expecting wind gusts to increase over a larger area causing an increase in power outages by 09z.
