The dynamics of this system have been impressive all day.

Frankly was miffed (and still am for some areas from NE OH into NW PA/SW NY where wind headlines STILL haven't been hoisted) at how conservative some offices have been with wind headlines on this one, outside of offices south of the Ohio River where warnings went up much earlier. Maybe when we're setting record low pressures it's a good sign to just issue the darn wind headlines. Hi-res models had gusts as high as what's been measured...I get that sometimes they're overdone but it's rare that a <980mb low isn't a giant wind bag. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi-res models had gusts as high as what's been measured...I get that sometimes they're overdone but it's rare that a <980mb low isn't a giant wind bag. I had been going with gusts up to 60MPH being likely (Didn't want to go all in on the hi-res' higher end depictions alone). But yea, a lot of downstate IL NWS offices were more conservative and only suggested gusts up to 50MPH for the most part, which was quite surprising. With it happening in a widespread/significant fashion in real-time now, any that haven't jumped onboard yet...it's a lost cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
