Stebo Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Same here. My truck says its 32 4km NAM has really done a great job with temps on this side of the front, it showed us remaining very cold until the warm front comes though this evening.

Whitelakeroy Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Same here. My truck says its 32 Have you been getting these 25-30+ gusts up your way to today? I looked a DTW and there wind is only 8 MPH. I noticed in the HRRR model and it shows the winds doing exactly what is going on. Pretty impressive.

Whitelakeroy Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 No not really. Light winds at best The HRRR has had a strip in NE Livingston and NW Oakland with gust up to 30-35 (even some 35-40) MPH but much calmer winds elsewhere in the area. Howell has had several up to around 25 (the HRRR was showing that as a possibility). I have had some low 30s gust almost all afternoon. Pretty cool to see the model in action like that. I bet it is the elevation factor being about 1000' IMBY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 What is the actual criteria for wind advisory vs wind warning? Maybe (hopefully lol) an advisory covers it. I think advisory is for gusts from 45-57mph, High Wind Warning is for gusts of 58mph or greater OR sustained winds of at least 40mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Had dense fog much of the afternoon, but after the line of storms passed through the fog quickly lifted and it became completely sunny for a short bit. Could see the towers to the northeast racing away. Very cool. Picked up 1.32" of rain total. Winds are just now starting to get very gusty. Fog a distant memory.

hawkeye_wx Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 We got heavy rain and a decent amount of small hail a couple hours ago. It caused some minor issues. The street backed up because the big snow pile at the end blocked the drainage, and a couple neighbors had water in their window wells(one of them leaks water into their basement). My rain total was 0.89", easily my heaviest precip event since last fall. The snowpack is going to become a glacier during the next cold stretch.
