When we get effective sunshine during these high wind events it makes the process of mixing down the winds aloft very efficient. Going to be interesting to see what later this afternoon looks like.

PrinceFrederickWx Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 We do wind really well in this region (along with heatwaves and heavy rains). We certainly don’t do anything else good though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowenOutThere Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 If some areas do get some rain from the showers that may or may not accompany that second front our area could be in for a ton of trees down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEATHER53 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Peak gust 52 and I think winds will increase a bit from 7-10pm. Stay out of the woods warning in my forecast this evening and after feeling like 95 in the direct sun a few days ago by 10pm tonight it will feel like 35-40.

Kmlwx Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Velocity scans look pretty impressive on that radar activity coming over the mountains now. We will start to battle less mixing from the sun going down - but my guess is there's a good surge of wind damage with that precip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormfly Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 We've had better winds without even an advisory (Christmas Eve) here. Sure they're been some gusts here and there and the 43mph peak (not even 3 second standard) is pretty weak. Not that I'm complaining! LOL But it looks like the warning is staying for us because some stronger winds are inbound. Too bad it's not 18 degrees and snowing with thunder. I don't care what kind of weather nut you are, that's just about as good as it gets. And nobody loses their house in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
