Contest: Predict the highest wind gust on 12.6 at BWI/DCA/RIC


Ian

Recommended Posts

Winds kick up tomorrow in the wake of the clipper system... should not be anything extreme, but a windy few days at least starting tomorrow.

So, predict the PEAK wind gust at the following...

BWI:

DCA:

RIC:

Tiebreaker...

Monday a.m. low at DCA:

OPEN THRU 5 p.m. Sunday.
