#MEwx Cold, snow coming and another Winter Weather Advisory

Good morning Augusta.

I’ve put up an Ambient WS 5000 weather station where you can view real time weather readings from my location online by clicking here.

We’re under a WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY again, so be sure to read it in the post prece3ding this one.

This morning we have partly sunny skies, becoming mostly cloudy. Highs in the upper 20s with North winds around 10 mph this morning, becoming light and variable. Wind chill values can be as low as 5 below during morning hours.

Here’s a proverb that focuses on wind speed for storm severity.

 

“The sharper the blast the sooner ‘tis past.”

When a storm builds rapidly, it’s often stronger and faster than when a storm builds gradually. A strong thunderstorm has an average speed of about 30 miles per hour, meaning it will generally only last a few hours. A gentle rain shower, though, can travel at a fraction of that speed, and can last for a few days.
