It's time to batten down the hatches again. The National Weather Service has issued a wind advisory for Tuesday from noon until 11 p.m.
Winds from the west of 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 50 mph are predicted.
Winds of this magnitude can cause tree limbs and power lines to come down causing localized power outages. Travel will be difficult for high-profile vehicles.
Only 50, meh.
Only 50, meh.
I understand what the "meh"
I understand what the "meh" comment is all about James but I'm afraid you're overlooking one thing. All the snow we received AFTER the last high wind event has melted and along with the recent rains the soil is highly saturated now.
High winds & saturated soil in not a good combination for shallow rooted trees!
Obviously you do not
Obviously you do not understand.
We had gusts of about 80 mph just a little while ago. Now with a predicted 50 mph wind. Most of the week stuff is gone. An 80 mph wind has about 2.25 time a grater force than a 50 mph wind.
Also in the week we had the big winds the rain was 1.7 inches. This week it is 0.54
According to the USGS the local streams are lower this week then they were the week of the big winds when we had all the damage which also mans the water table is lower and the ground is LESS saturated this week when the last wind storm.
Fact one, this storm will have 0.44 times the strength of the last wind storm
Fact two, there is less water in the ground this time
Fact three, I was being sarcastic and you seem to be a worrier. Relax Ed. it's all OK right now. :)
