WEATHER ALERT UPDATE: Now it’s a High Wind Warning for late tonight through Sunday morning

1:30 PM: You know what to do – charge everything; the National Weather Service has announced a Wind Advisory for our area for 10 pm tonight through 10 am Sunday. Read it in full here. The NWS says this could bring “south to southwest wind 20 to 35 mph with gusts up to 50 mph.” And while advisories don’t always pan out, Michael points out (via an emailed tip – thank you!) that even weather analyst Cliff Mass is sounding the alarm, saying “it is highly probable that this will be a major wind event.”

7 PM: A short time ago, the NWS upgraded the alert to a High Wind Warning, saying the gusts could “briefly” reach 60 mph.

That’s where I’ll be on watch. Got more backup-power items for Christmas!

That’s the most recent hourly forecast from NWS. With a 12.2 tide at 6:17 am, this could be pretty splashy tomorrow morning.

I can barely wait to see tomorrow (Sun) am’s debris scattered everywhere. If rain lets up, I know what I’ll be doing for the rest of the week-end.

Would just like to add that in spite of the Hounds of Hell blowing outside, we still have power at my home in Pelly Place. Around two, the lights were flickering, so I turned off the TV to save the cable box from confusion.Normally I sleep thru this type of weather, but this time I was already up and about.

Sorry, comment time is over.
