Baroclinic Zone Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Went AWT. Nothing out of the ordinary for a February wind event. Busted hard here. Never hit 50. 60-65mph takes a special set of cicumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 There's a difference between 45 mph on NW flow and 60 mph on NW flow. It may not seem like much, but you can see a different level of damage as winds ramp up those 15 mph. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although inversion heights slowly lowered after 21z, once 925 started to increase that’s when it really kicked in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathafella Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 The direction matters. As mentioned yesterday, half the gust speed on E winds would have created more havoc imby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were just saying it was almost like the low level stability finally mixed out late in the afternoon and allowed the gusts to really power to the surface.

OceanStWx Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Now the units are going to be a little unfamiliar, but they work out. I used the pressure differences between HIE and IZG, and NAMnest wind speeds (65 knots) to estimate how winds would accelerate from the NW side to the SE side of MWN. 100720 Pa - 100480 Pa = 1.225/2(33.44^2 - V^2) Solving for V = 53 m/s = 103 knots So you can see how pretty typically mid level winds can translate into some much higher gusts. Considering that local effect were likely more extreme than HIE-IZG and 148 knot gust is not surprising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's when you grow your beard out below your lower lip, so called presumably because it catches any dribbles that don't make it in your mouth. Also called a Soul Patch. Fred Durst had one when the band first became popular. It's not a good look on most. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
