Strong Winds?

It could get interesting on Thursday or Friday, with all the rain we've had it won't take much for some trees to come down.

 

Yep, storms here tomorrow thru friday.

 

This just popped up for our area.
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN BURLINGTON HAS ISSUED A HIGH WIND
WATCH...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM LATE THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH
FRIDAY EVENING.
* LOCATIONS...THE SAINT LAWRENCE VALLEY AND HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF
THE NORTHERN ADIRONDACK MOUNTAINS IN NEW YORK.
* HAZARDS...STRONG AND POTENTIALLY DAMAGING SOUTHWEST WINDS.
* WINDS...SOUTHWEST 25 TO 35 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 60 MPH.
* TIMING...WINDS WILL INCREASE OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST LATE THURSDAY
NIGHT AND EARLY FRIDAY MORNING...PEAKING BETWEEN 11 AM AND 5 PM ON

Should be fun trick-or-treating tomorrow:

THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAINFALL ARE LIKELY THURSDAY
AND THURSDAY EVENING. SOME STORMS DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING
MAY BE SEVERE WITH DAMAGING WINDS THE PRIMARY THREAT. ISOLATED
TORNADOES WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE. THE GREATEST RISK FOR SEVERE
WEATHER IS EXPECTED SOUTH OF A TERRE HAUTE TO MUNCIE LINE.
LIGHTNING IS A THREAT FROM ANY THUNDERSTORM.

IN ADDITION...WINDS OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORMS COULD GUST OVER 40

Oh chit! Man am I ever glad the big trees are no longer beside my house. I still have big trees, just none next to the house. We had one that literally twisted apart about 8 ft up the trunk. It was a very tall maple. When it came down, it drove the legs to the kid's metal swing set 4 feet into the ground. I hate when those big ones drop limbs or tip over roots and all. The problem here is that the soil isn't deep in most places. Lots of ledge outcropping. Typical Maine.

 

Could be a good storm for sure. They are even prediciting high winds up here and I am 190 miles north of the St. Lawrence

 

Not looking forward to the wind but I am hoping it blows a couple of hangers down

 

We've been hit with storms twice this year, not looking forward to another.

Certified106, we have two hangers (1 has been up for 4 years) that none of the storms brought down.

 

It should put the rest of the maple leaves into the neighbors yard...

 

Thanks for the info woodlands. Glad I took that maple down next to the camp power line. I better check out any other trees next to the line tomorrow morning. Then bring the generator out and start it up and get all my ducks in a row.

Thanks. Were you going through withdrawals when the government shutdown happened? First time I went to the NOAA site and it was basically "were down because of the government shutdown".

 

No, I think we had great weather so I never bothered with the site.

 

I believe Weather.com got some added traffic during that time.

 

This chart is from this morning.

 

Pretty steady rain and breezy here. Nothing to get excited about. A lot of leaves coming off the trees.
