That front just came through seattle and was the most severe I think I've ever encountered, way worse then that one that came through early this summer. I live in eastlake with a view of lake union and could see the lightning coming in from the west and then suddenly the wind kicked up to what I'd guess was 60mph+. Simultaneously it started to hail quarter-inch sized hail which was driving sideways due to the high wind. After 2 or 3 minutes it completely passed. Incredibly violent!<br /><br />Here a few pictures of the hail. As you can see it was all driven against the wall, essentially creating a hail bank. http://www.flickr.com/photos/veo/tags/hail/#veo_https://www.blogger.com/profile/12005856874714826259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-74171312182789515082009-10-30T14:02:48.186-07:002009-10-30T14:02:48.186-07:00Understand Kevin.

I was just alluding to Cliff calling for "possibly damaging wind" (ie wind advisory or high wind watch) as early as 0630 10/29<br /><br />The office didn't address the meso winds "fully" until the afternoon package let alone post watches until 0300 this morning. But there is nothing wrong with that. I understand things go in motion when Noaa post watches and warnings (movement of power crews,emergency service staffing adjustments,and other changes in regular activities that cost money.)So one would be careful to make sure the models render as the say "on the same page"...<br /><br />we will see....<br /><br />JoshJoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08645629430659310315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-63569220195346096092009-10-30T12:26:52.995-07:002009-10-30T12:26:52.995-07:00Lake Stevens 12:25pm.

This all came on within the last 2 hours, it was very calm this morning.<br /><br />Odd that the Wind Advisory is in effect for Everett (only 5 miles to our west) but it's not active for Lake Stevens. Although they do have about 5mph stronger wind speeds than we do right now.<br /><br />Anyway, looking forward to seeing what the storm has in store for us this afternoon/evening. Hopefully it's a lot more wind!Scott K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09543174609187989825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-81631817949886293472009-10-30T09:50:49.828-07:002009-10-30T09:50:49.828-07:00Any thoughts on whether this wind will decrease th...Any thoughts on whether this wind will decrease the chance of precipitation on Saturday?johnmochahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17017743895199535310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-52329776575998344802009-10-30T09:27:17.004-07:002009-10-30T09:27:17.004-07:00Getting a little breezy just east of Redmond.
