canderson Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 With the sun out and the secondary cold front coming through, I fully expect a LOT of power outages and home damage all over this region. This will be the most significant wind event in quite a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This won't be a one-type gust thing, this will be like 40 gusts above 50. Sustained 30 mph winds with those gusts is tropical-like stuff. I think Sandy or Isabelle was prob the last time we've seen this so strong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Just had my first gust to 50. Interestingly, the last 30-45 minutes were much calmer than it had been since mid-morning. She's cranking now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 Well, this event made me bite the bullet and buy a new weather station. I had an Accu-Rite that was pretty good, but the wind sensor never worked right. Today it's showing my my max gust at 18 mph, and even during Sandy only had a gust of 26 mph. I was doubling them to come more in line with other nearby stations, but it's not accurate doing that. But after 10 years, the temp sensor, or I think the fan aspirator had quit working, so my afternoon highs were way off, including a 122 one day last summer when we were actually in the mid 90's. Humidity is backwards too. Reading 99% when it's sunny and 2% when it's raining. Anyway, here's my new present to me... https://ambientweather.com/amws2000.html It has good reviews, so I hope it's accurate and reliable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a simple bluetooth one on top of my garage eave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking of putting a 10 ft long, one inch pole in the ground alongside a fence post in the middle of the yard with some zip ties to help keep it more stable. I have a small yard in an urban type location, so it's not quite as open as I'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Wow. Now I think I'm getting a wee-bit nervous over these winds. I have a bunch of 70-90 foot trees with relatively small trunks lining my back yard. With the most recent set of winds sustained at 35 and gusting to 45 twigs and some small branches have already come down as well as a fair number of leaves. If any one of those trees came down towards the back of my home it would be very damaging. Plus my wife works from home on the second floor right next to some rear windows and I sit in the family room directly underneath her, also right at the rear edge of the home. It's pretty scary just watching the huge sway with each gust. And to think it may get worse over the next few hours and become even more sustained. I've had a ton of 40mph gusts now. They were occurring almost every few minutes. Yup, there goes another gust to 45. Haven't hit 50 yet. I had a few in the low 50's with some events earlier this year but nothing that was sustained like this. One other thing...the temperature has been dropping from an hour ago. Now back down to 59 whereas it was 64 an hour ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm ready for this to be over, but we have many hours left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
