HIGH WIND WARNING 10 AM TO 8 PM TODAY FOR THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA
Expect today to be a VERY DANGEROUS day across the Tri-State Area.
A HIGH WIND WARNING was issued just before 4 AM for the NWS Wilmington forecast area. The NWS says winds could gust upwards of 60 mph today, with damage likely.
As if that were not enough, we are also under a HIGH RISK (west) and MODERATE RISK (east) of severe thunderstorms today. The Storm Prediction Center says that a line of storms, currently to the west of St. Louis, will rake through the area around early afternoon. The line, and any storms that precede it, will be capable of any of the following:
-- Damaging winds, potentially upwards of 70 mph
-- Strong, potentially long-lived tornadoes
-- Hail upwards of 1" in diameter
Any storms should sweep east rapidly, and be gone by mid-evening. This front will usher in drier, cooler air - highs will not surpass 70 degrees after one final gasp tomorrow, at least for the next week, and possibly longer.
Because of the fluid situation, please follow me on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/NKYWx for the very latest updates all day long, including any damage reports I receive.
Also, if you have pictures of damage in your area, you may either tweet them to me, or send them to the email address to the right of this blog post.
