SnowGolfBro Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Fog storm before the wind storm. Well if we can’t get snow we mine as well get everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Just started ripping out here now. I really need to buy myself a proper weather station with an anemometer. Edit: Just wow. I mean it has come in like a wall. Brutal gusts. Nothing close to the tornado last May we had out here. But really impressive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could das or anyone else answer the following: What features depicted in the models provide an alert for this possibility? It seems to be a combo of bombogenisis and a mechanism that forces the jet stream to mix down into the boundary layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a little elevation will actually help if you want some wind with this one. Pretty impressive start though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVclimo Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Rain just ended here with 0.40” in the bucket. And as soon as it stopped winds started ramping up. Already sustained 15-25 with a couple of gusts above 40 mph. The ground feels like a wet sponge. I am afraid there are gonna be a lot of trees coming down by morning.

87storms Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 the satellite loop is pretty cool... http://weather.cod.edu/satrad/ might have to navigate to the right links (2km visible loop and then sector map), but you can clearly see the edge of where the winds will start kickin' in.
