dendrite Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 the 4km WRFs have some scattered squalls for the region tomorrow. Maybe someone will get lucky and pick up a quick 1" or so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 What are your thoughts for winds in SNE? And no saying.."I haven't looked at that area" You didn't ask me, but I see a typical, strong CAA scenario (but not HWW caliber) like the others have mentioned. Maybe low 30kts sustained in places with gusts +/- 5kt from 45kt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage CSTAR COOL SEASON HIGH WIND STUDY POINTS TO FIRST AREAS SUSCEPTIBLE TO THESE WINDS BEING THE SOUTHEAST PORTION OF FA AS THE LOW WILL BE WELL NORTHEAST OF THE FA. ISALLOBARIC COUPLET WILL BE STRONGEST ACROSS FA FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH LATE SATURDAY AND GFS...NAM...ECMWF AND GGEM ALL HAVE A VERY TIGHT SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS FA FROM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING. THE STRENGTH OF THE WINDS MAY ALSO BE AIDED BY MIXING TO 7 KFT AHEAD OF THE ARCTIC FRONT TONIGHT WHICH MAY ALSO INCLUDE A RUMBLE OF THUNDER AS ML MUCAPES OF 100-200 J/KG POSSIBLE.

MaineJayhawk Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Had a couple gusts over 45mph overnight but with the trees still leafless I'm not expecting any power issues. There is a variety of crap strewn across my crisp white 20" snowpack however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Best winds yet (since 4:30 when I woke up). Ground is littered with sticks. A couple good thunks off the roof from small branches. Looks like one branch managed to catch some phone lines on the way down. They're still up, but sagging pretty darn low. 27.1/13 btw--while I've been tyring to video some ofo the wind this morning, there's nothing more boring than that. Doesn't caputre it at all. Maybe I'll walk outsie later if I can muster the energy to snowshoe. Perhaps I'll get some better footage doing that. Sporadic ground blizzard conditions. Can only imagine what it would be like if there were 3-4 inches last night instead of the 1 or so that came down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 A couple of house shaking gusts earlier this morning (woke me up). The top of our fireplace thingy on wheels blew into the woods. Will wait until the snow melts a bit to go get it I imagine. Our nearest Weatherbug station (Gardner) had a gust of 49mph Also looks like we got a tiny dusting of snow overnight AWT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattb65 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Winds are gusting like crazy in downtown boston. It's a perfect storm of snow melting to uncover all the buried trash and sand/salt leftover combined with heavy winds to cause trash/salt/sand funnels that you have to cover your face from walking around.
