* WINDS...West 25 to 35 mph with 55 to 60 mph gusts.

* TIMING...A surge of winds just behind the passage of a strong
cold front early this evening may result in 45 to 55 mph gusts.
Otherwise, winds overnight will generally gust 35 to 45 mph.
Starting Monday morning, strong winds gusting 55 to 60 mph will
affect the area.

* IMPACTS...Strong winds may blow down limbs, trees, and power

Ur not kidding, I think this could potentially overperform too with a few isolated gusts over 60mph, its a insanely large area of high wind warning to say the least, what sucks is it comes in after 10pm and ends monday at 6pm so as I said I will be inside at work all day so I will really only see anything when I go to work and maybe when I get out at 3:15, and grselig I want snow just as much as you I would actually prefer snow over a high wind event. Its just something else that can be thrilling but I would much rather see a blizzard.

The fog here is very dense cannot see more than a quarter mile in places, I am sure with the incoming winds it will blow away quite fast.

Good lord look at the montains! Of course I am in the perverbial wind hole as I usually am with snow but these wind gust maps are hardly on point. But the general idea is hold onto your hats!

Wow down by me 60 mph

Widespread outages and downed trees/limbs already being reported across Michigan and Ohio. This will blow thru here tonight thru tomorrow AM. Biggest wind threat locally since that wild wind storm last Spring.

As an aside, I am quite pleased with myself as I’ve been harping on this wind threat for days now (cc jman) lol

Oh I knew it was going to happen too just been very busy, these storms where the back end winds come from the NW almost always verify, like last spring.

If you look at the radar you can see the frontal position that will usher in these winds this evening. Moving into Central PA now:

To be honest as much as I know JMan will be into this, I’m not too excited about 55-60 mph winds ripping through here followed by 30-40 mph gusts all night. Hope my house stays in one piece.

It will be gusting to 60mph from 10pm tonight through 6pm tomorrow, not short duration its not just gonna be with the frontal passage. The warning below:

Holy crap!! 65mph, I do not think I have ever seen it that high.  That map above makes no sense, NJ no outage issue? And PA being highest, I imagine it will be a high issue everywhere especially up north too, that map is way off. Now I am really pissed that I am gonna be stuck inside underground at work. I think if I get up early I can catch some good winds before I go in. Maybe at the tail end too.

What is the site for this? I think they are missing quite a few states in there and IMO NY and NJ should be in the red.

I just realized thats a 22 hr wind event, and here the ground is mud, not good. Found the site, its really cool and I get it, the outage color legend is currently not expected. You can click your area or any area and get the specific companies outages by county.

Correct its what's happened

State College PA currently sustained 26 mph with 40 mph gusts. Could be stronger gusts in the area.

Good Lord a whole page on wind with not a flake of snow involved in this event.

This winter has fallen to a new low.

Across 6 states outages have broken 600,000, yikes.

The most dramatic weather event was a snow squall. Now its superseded by wind. pathetic. just pathetic.
