dendrite Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago 17 minutes ago, CoastalWx said: We’ve had a few NW flow deals that I can recall that really did some damage. There was one I think in Nov 2004. Heck in Jan this year we had one after fropa that did damage here. The first one you mentioned was over 20 years ago. I think you kinda proved my point. I want to say there was a good one in early 06 too…Feb maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to say there was a good one in early 06 too…Feb maybe? We've had more, just noting that particular one. But I typically yawn at anything under 60. Give me 70+. Kind of tough here to top Oct 2021 for wind. That was NE not NW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted 3 hours ago Author Share Posted 3 hours ago It's still going to get quite windy tonight and there is still the risk of localized wind damage if an organized convective line can develop to our west today and maintain as it crosses the region tonight. But for a good 4-5 hours overnight it will still be very windy. There will still be some trees/limbs that come down and there will be some power outages.

weatherwiz Posted 2 hours ago Author Share Posted 2 hours ago Looking at some 12z NAM bufkit locations we're still looking at 45-50 mph gusts region wide but there may still be a sliver of a window where there could be some gusts in the 55-60 range somewhere. Many soundings still have ~50 knots at the top of the mixed layer. Obviously this doesn't guarantee that translates to the surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago 3 hours ago, dendrite said: The W-NW CAA winds generally are. We can do 45-55mph no problem, but the >55kt stuff is rare. The westerly component doesn’t do as much tree damage either since the trees grow braced against that flow. Give me a mixed down raging easterly LLJ over something this. Maybe an isolated gust here and there, but only once have I experienced hours and hours of >55kt blasts. That was on New Years Day of 1962, a bitter (5/-8, chilly for NNJ) day with gusts that had to approach 70 mph as some large leafless oaks were uprooted from the semi-frozen ground - only 2" snow OG. Meanwhile a strong LP was doing a loop in the GOM and burying the Penobscot area from BGR (29.5") to Ripogenus (46") with 60+ mph gusts there.

CT Valley Snowman Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Looks like BOX went with an advisory for most with a warning for the east slopes of the berks and the cape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall that here in MA-- plus skating on the Concord River-- solidly frozen but for an open channel in the fast current middle. How often does that happen these days? Needless to say, we skated the peripheries. That combination of extreme wind and cold was both long lasting and memorable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
