yoda Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Anybody else catch this tidbit from the afternoon LWX disco? SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... High pressure from the central U.S. will migrate eastward and build in over the region on Friday and into Saturday, bringing more October like temperatures to the region. A sharp shortwave trough and upper jet will move over the area Friday night and into Saturday morning, giving us another shot at showers. Higher elevations along the Potomac Highlands may even be greeted with some wet snowflakes given 850 temperatures do drop below freezing. Conditions will trend drier the second half of Saturday and into Saturday night with mainly clear conditions and slightly below normal temperatures. We may finally get some frost in some of our western zones Saturday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATreglown Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Lots of heavy rain, about 3.5", and winds have howling. Sustained around 30 mph with gusts anywhere between 45 and 58 mph. I am 25 miles south of Richmond. Lost power at 8:15 pm. Michael is putting on a show here. Too bad it had to happen at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows when that will be. All it took was the second gust and boom, power went out. Lots of power outages across the state. VA Power map shows 234,380. I am with PGE coop, they do not have a map, so I have no idea when it will come back on. i'll turn on the generator when it settles down. Schools in the area are closed tomorrow because of storm damage and with it being Friday, probably will not be in that big of a hurry. EDIT: VA Power updates every 15 minutes and is now up to 245,704. That went up quite fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not! The lights were flickering for a few hours but power has stayed on. The winds stayed mostly to the south. Every county around mine was under tornado watch, but no major impacts except a ton of rain, lightning, and dead leaves all over the lawn. Still getting some gusts but I think the worst has passed.

It's actually chilly. Winds are probably gusting around 30 right now. I'm sure they will be some tree issues areas along 95 south and east.

I thought I read that you moved from Cali to Va. I figured it was east though with your winds finally ramping up. Here, it was just rain and I was seeing reports very near by with high wind gust, but nothing at my location. But a few minutes later it was like a switch was flipped and the winds started roaring and my power went out immediately. Going to wait and turn the generator on when I get up around 6:30, pretty sure there still will be no power. It's already late, so I figure why bother. Frig will last till then.
