Very Windy Monday




It is looking more and more likely that wind gusts on Monday could be very strong, which could down some trees and utility lines. The latest guidance continues to suggest wind gusts between 45 and 55 MPH across most of the region.

The wind may come in two rounds. The first round will be with a warm push of air ahead of a surface boundary moving through in the morning. Southwest winds could definitely gust above 40 MPH, especially along the coastal plain. The second round is with the cold air advection moving in from the northwest behind the boundary. The peak gusts with this will occur late in the afternoon into the evening hours.
