(1/1) A thread about wind. Here are the possible peak wind gusts this afternoon/early eve. Definitely some damage potential.
(2/2) The strong winds are found in a low-level jet roaring several thousand feet above our heads. There are two ways to bring it down to where we live. 1) Mixing where air temp at surface warms to as warm/warmer as what& #39;s aloft 2) Convection (storms) drag it down
(3/5) The reason peak gusts look a little lower on the south coast is because wind off the water brings cooler temps this time of year = a bit more stable than inland areas that will be 5-8F warmer
