Absolute Vorticity

As has been seen to our west and southwest, the wind potential with this is solid.

Man is that wind roaring now! Definitely seeing gusts 40 to 45 IMBY without question!

Likewise. Ripping out now. Dark to the W/SW.

55 in G'ville and 61 DAY with both of DPs of 37.

No sun here at all Trev, completely overcast and windy. Not a drop of rain yet either. Thanks to that dry air mixing down, that is one reason why the wind potential is still there whether we get any rain or not.

I just moved trash cans and took my flag down. Talked to my neighbor and he took down all of his flags as well. Getting ready to move my truck in a few minutes.

Les some of your leftover leaves are in my yard. I will need you to work this weekend and take care of them. My wife took the decorative flags down as well

Shoot Tim... I'll have my own yard clean up to do with falling limbs. A nice one just came down from my big old maple tree in the front yard. Definitely waiting until this passes to put the trash cans out for Fri AM pick up. At least you won't have to pick up any garbage from me in your yard.

And just like that, the clouds and some showers move in with 45 mph gusts at the same time. Ugh, hope the power stays on.

backyard neighbor's hot tub cover just got caught in a gust, destroyed their railing around their patio. Almost total cloud cover here with just one small bright patch. Wids are screaming when they gust...

Wind advisory has been expanded.

Glad I got all my outside Christmas decorations down last weekend. They'd be in big trouble today if the lights were still on the eaves.

Very windy of course but not a drop of rain so far.

Finally seeing some light rain now. It's coming down sideways due to the wind.

I finished filling up my curbside cart early this afternoon and have it ready to roll out late this evening for Fri AM pickup. Keep it parked in a corner of the garage.

Sideways rain as arrived

From the boys as of about 30 mins ago:

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
999 mb low pressure driven by a potent 500 mb low is setting the
table for severe weather this afternoon into this evening.

Despite low dew points in the 40s and CAPE only around 250
J/KG, steep low level lapse rates are allowing thunderstorms to
develop. Some storms will tap strong low level jet winds,
possibly resulting in damaging wind gusts in excess of 60 mph.
A severe thunderstorm watch has been issued through 7 pm for
our entire area except for Lewis County KY. Main area of
concern is along and north of I-70 where most favorable pooling
of low level moisture is expected. Storms will depart quickly to
the northeast, following the motion of surface and mid level
troughs.

Strong winds not associated with thunderstorms will push in
behind the thunderstorms, with speeds subsiding below advisory
criteria of 40 knots an hour or two after the thunderstorms
move northeast. Though gusts are expected to fall below advisory
criteria by mid evening, they will remain strong through
tonight with speeds over 30 knots being common. As colder air
filters in later tonight dropping temperatures into the 30s,
scattered rain showers changing to snow showers may then dust
the area by Friday morning.

Cool! I can see a rainbow out there facing north! Top Ten event for this winter.

EDIT: Much like our snow, it was gone in less then 30 seconds. I didn't even have enough time to take a picture.

Holy cow that wind is nuts- and silly me wore a dress today. LOL!

Looks like we have dodged a bullet for severe storms, but that wind is no joke! Even for folks N of I-70 where the best chance exists, in the next hour or two, even those locations will be in the clear.

CVG gusted to 43 mph as of 4pm.

I'm going to wait until sometime between 10 o'clock and 11 to roll out my cart for tomorrow morning.
