That one was really bad. I woke up to a large tree slamming the ground, and scarily loud gusts.

I still wouldn’t be surprised if something similar happens today. That storm has always seemed like the best most recent analog. We will see though not really sure what to expect today.

One thing I will use to compare to the 1/5/19 event is that from south to north we had updates of very strong wind starting in Eugene. At one point Matt said half of Vancouver was in the dark while up in the Seattle area we were saying how calm it was and then we got pounded about 2 hours later. So with this rapid pressure rise situation... it spreads like a wave moving consistently north. An hour after the wind hit my area... we had Randy telling us about crazy wind there and thunder shaking the house and hail!

Another "windstorm", another bust. I've seen this too many times. The NAM pretty much always does this, you can't take it seriously anymore. Anyways, back to waiting for arctic air and lowland snow...

Latest HRDPS trended way down with peak wind speeds.
