EasternUSWX Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Winds haven't been over 15mph here for a long time. Has to be some kind of mountain influence. Mag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Home in Port Matilda now - when will they hit us? I think we've already reached that point, it's something watching the base velocity just continue to increase over us. Velocties over our head our now up around 50kts. Some spikes up to 60 knots in northern Huntingdon showing. This is only in the first couple thousand feet above us. It has to be howling up on top of Skytop and Tussey.

Wmsptwx Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Yeah, that discrepancy seems like a lot. But hey, State College is gusting pretty good and we're almost calm here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieOber Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Yeah, that discrepancy seems like a lot. But hey, State College is gusting pretty good and we're almost calm here. Wonder if it will move inland and hit you. I am really taken aback by SNE and NYC's gusts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVblizzard Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Just had the biggest wind gust yet on the west side of PSU. Had to be over 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itunis Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Just had the biggest wind gust yet on the west side of PSU. Had to be over 40. Yeah I heard that one. At least where I am on campus it's just breezy with a stronger gust once in a while. Not quite the 30 mph sustained yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really sure what would be the issue there, It could be a mountain thing, or maybe your in a sheltered spot on campus. I'm not familiar with the layout down there. That's kinda weird though.

Yorkpa25 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 These winds I must say are a huge letdown.. I'm astonished really expected more. I know sandy hasn't yet made landfall but just don't see winds getting much worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeffsvilleWx Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 Keep in mind winds are supposed to increase well into the night. Those complaining about low wind speed need to learn some patience, or need to pay better attention to NWS forecast products. Every single one I have read (for CPA) has said increasing winds this afternoon, with the heaviest winds overnight. Additionally, you'll never see maximum winds if there is any type of windblock around. I have several houses and large trees blocking wind IMBY. It's not uncommon to have 65 mph gusts at KLNS (less than a mile away), and only have 20 mph gusts IMBY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkpa25 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Nothing real sustained... A gusts here and there. Guess asking for 30-40 mph sustain winds is to much ... Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 How the hell do you guys not have these gusts? They're with regularity now, one about 2 minutes ago moved a fairly large potted plant of my neighbor's into the next yard down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmsptwx Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 maybe 30 mph gusts..nothing to write home about in Willpo. Looks to be over by 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max gust IMBY has been 18 mph. However, KLNS's high gust today is 38 mph. However, overall wind trend is increasing, as forecast, per PWS trend graphs.

Jmister Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 maybe 30 mph gusts..nothing to write home about in Willpo. Looks to be over by 9. I wouldn't draw conclusions yet. Strongest winds should be from 6-midnight in your area and most of Central PA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmsptwx Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Jmister could it just be a mixing problem?? I know it's there aloft but that doesn't mean much when it can't come down to the surface. I'd guess on conservative side that we see 40mph max gust at IPT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
