My top gust at 10m is 55 mph so far. Winds went even higher overnight. MRB with a 66 mph gust, and the Hagerstown CWOP had one 65 mph. An 81 mph gust was reported via Mesonet near Wintergreen in Nelson Co., VA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nj2va Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Overperformer. Upgraded to a High Wind Warning. Wind and heat...the stories of the MA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormpc Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Scary loud early morning winds. Had to have a few gusts around 60mph. Died down for a few minutes now but around sunrise it was nuts. We do wind well. Backyard is a swamp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Windy, but at least inside the Beltway it has been a run-of-the-mill synoptic wind event. Highest gust at DCA so far is 44mph. Pretty much matches what I have at home. IAD has been in the upper 40s and Andrews has been to 52. Nothing like last March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 This feels like more than a run-of-the-mill synoptic wind event in downtown Baltimore at the moment. I am in a 22 story steel frame building (20th floor) and the gusts are literally shaking the building. I have not experienced that here before and I have worked here since October of 2010. It is quite unsettling, frankly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danajames Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I would say the gusts in my neck of the woods have been in the 40-50 MPH range. I've seen worse, especially with that high wind event last winter. Hopefully, not too many people lost power or trees in the their yards. Considering how wet it's been, I guess the silver lining with the wind is that it does dry things out on the surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatoctinRN Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Well we have officially lost power in Emmitsburg. Wind had been bad but a few minutes ago a gust hit that just seemed to last forever. As soon as it ended....power went out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst here was last night. Also see the HWW canceled, WA in effect. Besides the occasional gust, average is very low for a "wind event" here. We tend to bust frequently on legitimate wind (sustained) that is. This is certainly nothing like last March for sure. Which, TBH, is good for us as we have a lot of tree work to do and I don't want to deal with a costly insurance claim when they come down. And that video, FTS. Too much rolling for me. Rolling on a ship is bad enough but the period is much shorter on an airliner. Multiple replays of breakfast is no fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

09-10 analogy Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 This has been a pretty good wind event but last March set a standard that’s gonna be tough to beat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rvarookie Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 So nice to see sun out today after having rain for 10 out of last 15 days. Wind is def helping to dry things out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wind is def helping to dry things out I do feel bad for those that lost power and especially the ones that had trees either slam into their house or car but like you, I chose to find a positive with the wind and it does dry the surface out appreciably. And yes, the sun shining was nice for a change. My sister lives in Richmond and she's been ranting about the rain for some time now. Can't say I blame her...it's been relentless for almost a year. I keep waiting for some met or poster here to tell me that the long range Spring/Summer outlook is for drier than normal conditions. That would be a symphony to my ears. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
