Wednesday morning update: Looks like we'll dodge the worst of the wind! The system isn't taking the most dangerous track, and it's weaker than it could have been. However, that doesn't mean we're completely out of the woods yet...it'll still be a windy afternoon, but it's shaping up to be "just another" fall/winter storm.
One thing that will be different is the sudden increase in strong gusts, sometime between noon and 2pm. Winds will be relatively calm, then ramp up rather quickly. I think the Plateau will see peak gusts in the 30 mph range, with a few that might get into the low-40s. Nothing too crazy, but enough to get your attention!
Back later with another update!
Wednesday midday update: The NWS just cancelled the wind advisory, meaning they’re not concerned about strong gusts anymore…it’ll still be on the breezy side through the afternoon, but nothing much more than a nuisance.
Things should be relatively quiet the rest of the week - cool and showery, and drying out for the weekend.
Merry Christmas to you and your families!
