  1. Looks like they are still landing on the runway that is into the wind (obviously)
  2. 51 at IAD and 58 at DCA, but I’m not sure I’ve hit 40.
  3. My brother west of Frederick just got his top wind gust in the last two years at 45mph, which is pretty good since his anemometer is at like 5’.
  4. Pittsburgh to 63 with the line of storms. 40s and 50s across Ohio.
  5. 71.4. Pretty cool how the winds died after the rain set up an inversion, and now they are ever so slightly increasing as the surface warms and mixes the boundary layer.
  6. Winds already kicking up. Gust to 44 at IAD.
  7. Moving this over here. The 18z NAM is more aggressive on the potential for severe due to the low-level moisture. Check out the difference between 12z and 18z.
  8. LWX mentioned in the discussion that there would be a better chance of convection to the east where the moisture hadn't been removed by the later morning dry line.
  9. Another twist on the new 18z NAM Nest. Winds maybe not as impressive, but the NAM is throwing out UH signals for some cells that pop up E of 95.
  10. Same as all the other weather events. We celebrate snowstorms even though they often result in some fatalities (crashes, heart attacks, etc.). Can't do anything about it, so might as well follow interesting weather. I thoroughly enjoyed March 2018's windstorm. This isn't in the same ballpark, but we haven't had anything to track forever.
  11. True, but I wonder if SW vs W/NW really matters much. The Isabel-like SE winds, absolutely.
  12. Interesting, now the 18z HRRR has a different evolution, with the most intense pulse of wind coming through mid-afternoon prior to the front with SW winds. That is a less common big wind direction around here. Still gusts in the 40s/50s with the front, but I'm skeptical of the mid-50s winds pre-frontal. We will be well-mixed, however, so can't rule it out.
  13. 12z mesoscale runs (edit - 12z NAM isn't out yet on weather.us, I'll update when it is). These are dependent on some level of convection bringing down the winds. The HRRR keeps most of the convection to the north in MD and it is spottier (the time step before has 70mph winds in the hills near Frederick). The NAM has a more consolidated line.
  14. Here are the other models for Saturday afternoon at the peak gust period in the 95 corridor. Euro remains least interested and the GFS remains quite excited.
  15. 06z NAM Nest 1hr max gust product. Large area of 60mph+ in MD.
  16. If the event ends up looking like the NAM above, we are going to see massive severe thunderstorm warning boxes accompanying that line for wind.
  17. As the wind threat has moved from the global to the mesoscale model range, the view of the character of the event has changed. Rather than a lengthy synoptic event, the NAM and HRRR both have an intense surge of wind accompanying the frontal passage. Might be wild for a shorter period.
  18. The NAM Nest is pretty aggressive on the post-frontal winds on Saturday evening. Gusts in the 50s.
