TradeWinds Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Ok just got home and would like to find out what kind of winds we had up here. I was at my girls school but upon getting home my neighbors potted plants were tossed over and one of my mini flag poles was almost ripped out of the ground. My garden is close to being flattened and it looks like I have round two coming in as I just got an alert for a new warning. I'm out of town this week but my station only shows a wind gust of 4.0. Wind isn't accurate but it usually picks up 15 or 18 mph when the real gusts are in the 40 range. 1.36" so far since midnight. Wettest day in many months.

Ian Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I think that batch to the south should start getting some tornado warnings shortly. Would still favor 95 and east with pre-frontal band stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Fun fact: IAD has yet to crack 1" of precip on the month. Hopefully they can double or triple today. If you get the rain that some have had today, that won't be a problem at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aldie 22 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 fringed But looking at radar that is a nasty batch just to the North of Leesburg...and the developing line to the West will definitely pass by to the South of Leesburg...so far today rain gauge has .23 with .15 coming overnight....so yes....fringed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.J Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I currently have a small stream in my back yard. Had a time where you could not see anything out the windows the rain was blowing so hard. When I got home at noon I was at 1.19" I am currently up to 2.20" and it is still raining. It is going to be bad up here once school lets out. Bus schedules will be a mess. Glad I pick my girls up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
