Widespread Damaging Winds Likely!

Posted by Trevor Cole in Daily Weather Updates on 10-02-2009

A very windy and likely damaging event is on the way! As a strong area of low pressure slides to our northwest, the pressure gradient (between the low pressure to our NW and high pressure off the SE coast) will be darn near EXTREME across the Ohio Valley! Even without any thunderstorms, expect widespread wind gusts of 50-60mph (even higher in some spots) during the day tomorrow and through tomorrow night. Now if that isn’t bad enough, toss in a squall line (band of severe thunderstorms) for tomorrow afternoon/evening, and we are looking at a high threat for widespread power outages and falling trees/limbs! There is an enhanced threat for damage/power outages due to trees being weakened by September’s windstorm and the countless heavy ice/snow events we have seen this winter! PLEASE take this time to secure/bring in any loose objects outside, as well as to gather flashlights and candles in the event of a power outage!

Brother Cole,
Good site you’re running here!

Something to consider: Be kind to the reader’s eye and use some bullet points or more frequent paragraph breaks. Big blocks of text are daunting and can be offputting to some readers who may just move on rather than reading what you have to say.

See you tomorrow!
