That's decent for a wind event. 

[WinterWolf]

So far this is laughable…

[FlashFreeze]

Non event here so far.

[ineedsnow]

meh

[Modfan2]

Decent fail with the models on this one; maybe one decent gust at 2am. Hopefully DIT didn’t hit too many leaves on his morning run. 

[HoarfrostHubb]

Halloween was much more interesting 

[Torch Tiger]

Yeah even ack was barely gusting 55ish..  Not sure BOS/ORH peak but looked like around 50 ish.  Meh

[Sey-Mour Snow]

Didn't even hear a gust

[moneypitmike]

Top gusts at PWM has been 38.

 

 

 

[Baroclinic Zone]

Meh

Yea it was the worst short term fail . Dendrite nailed it

[Baroclinic Zone]

It was windy but nothing atypical with a cf passage ushering in new airmass

[CoastalWx]

Gust maybe near 50mph briefly. Looked meh ever since Tuesday.

Not sure I really called anything. The only thing I didn’t like was that the peak of the wind was all overnight. We’ve had good wind at night before, but this was more of a quick in and out impulse. That and the models kept backing off on the 850/925 winds the past couple of days. It’s tough to mix down what isn’t there.

This thing blew moose balls! What a fail. Done with wind.

I think it's more apt to say it was a decent fail by the models that were promoting it. 

The NAM had this less than 40mph winds 2 days ago for example.

please, I beg all of you to please stay safe during these trying times.

I hope you all stayed as safe as possible during this epic wind event.

what a bust

[weatherwiz]

Looks like the core of gusts last night was basically between 11 PM-2 AM just looking around at some obs which falls in line what guidance started to indicate but pretty crazy the decrease in LLJ intensity in the course of two days. 

[weatherwiz]

I also wish this would have busted with the LLJ that was advertised a few days ago versus busting because the LLJ just didn't pan out. If we got the 50-60 knot LLJ, I wonder if last night would have performed or not. 

I find these setups to be interesting, whether its 35-45 mph gusts or something that has potential for 50-60 mph. Over the years we've had plenty of times where wind advisories (this includes high wind) were issued and nothing happened, and times it's like "where the heck is the wind advisories". 

I am also wondering if the showers helped to develop or enhance a subtle inversion above the surface which maybe knocked off like 10 mph of gust potential? Was looking at some 6z NAM bufkit soundings and there are some subtle inversions just above the sfc.

[CoastalWx]

The low simply trended weaker. Shortwave not as potent and rapid low development did not take place.

Just went back and looked and noticed the models backed off on the narrow jet streak of 130+ knots it had developing around the base of the trough. Looked through at 0z models last night and yeah that shortwave was vastly different than what was modeled just a few days ago.
