Maestrobjwa Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 12 minutes ago, gymengineer said: MCPS has never in my lifetime closed just for wind. Closing for wind accompanying a tropical storm/hurricane, yes. Closing because of widespread outages after a thunderstorm, yes. Individual schools closing because of power outages after an event, yes. Never for just high winds. But what's very unusual about this event is the timing. The peak is forecast to coincide with the morning rush hour so there is more pressure than normal for disrupted schedules across the region. Think back to all the other high wind situations we've had over the past couple of decades-- very rarely have widespread 50 mph+ gusts happened during peak commute times. This here...this has been one of the rather unusual, and rather annoying, parts of this entire winter: Even though the events so far have been pretty small, their timing has always come right at commute time...causing delays and closings just by nature of said timing (even despite the event being small and without a snow shovel, lol). It's insane...ya got snow days used yet only 6-8 inches on the year, hahaha) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Excerpt from the latest iteration of the LWX AFD: Rain has overspread much of the region this evening, especially across the northern half of the area. The cold front associated with the low will pass through our area late this evening and overnight, first across locations west of the Blue Ridge Mountains between 9 pm and midnight, then across the rest of the area between midnight and 3 am. A wind shift to the west and northwest is expected behind the front and strong winds will accompany that shift. The gradient will continue to strengthen overnight causing strong winds. Winds at the top of the mixing layer continue to be modeled between 60 to 75 knots per latest multi-model consensus, peaking between 5 am and 12 noon, with mean mixed layer winds between 50 and 60 knots. Therefore a High Wind Warning is in effect for the entire region with gusts around 60 to 70 mph expected. Could see gusts even a bit higher than that...especially across the ridge tops. Concern is increasing for the Friday morning hours between 6 am and 12 noon for the strongest period of winds. A feature similar to a "sting jet" (Browning 2002, Schultz and Browning 2017) may cross the region during this time frame, increasing the threat for the 60-70 mph winds. There will also likely be some rain/snow showers around during the morning hours, including the Washington and Baltimore Metropolitan areas. Snowfall could coat some grassy surfaces but recent warm conditions and marginal temperatures suggest that paved surfaces will be wet. Following this period, strong and damaging winds will continue through Friday and well into Friday night before diminishing slightly toward morning. The fact that this is a long duration event and the ground will already be saturated means that widespread tree damage is expected along with power outages. This is going to be one of the most powerful wind storms in recent years. Through this evening...it is a good time to secure lightweight objects outside, and check flashlights and batteries as well as other items needed in a power outage.

Don’t want to get too offtipic, so mods can delete this if needed. But for MCPS the change had a significant impact. This is in part due to the fact that we also observe several religious holidays that other Md school districts do not. We cannot change those holidays because absentee rates for both students and teachers would be too great. I agree with you that we should be able to accommodate the new calendar.

However, Sandy has foliage which made more of an impact. I’m OK with schools closing tomorrow. In fact, I’d agree with it. Branches and trees falling is a different situation altogether than a glaze of ice on grass with wet roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
