Quick Night Before Update
February 5th, 2010 at 9:17 pm by Jeremy Wheeler under Weather
Interesting… The temperatures have come up to the lower 40s tonight with the strong easterly winds blowing off of the ocean. I talked a lot about the flooding recently. It’s only 9:00 and my backyard is a pool already. We still have the overnight to go. Radar estimates aren’t that impressive. They show about a half inch to an inch of rain so far. It will add up tonight though. Jon Cash is in for the morning show tomorrow. He’ll do a blog update then probably. Our model was showing some let-up in the morning. Will that let the water go down? Will that let the sun pop out? Why am I asking rhetorical questions? Tough to say. But don’t be surprised if you wake up to very windy conditions. See the previous blogs for a lot more detail on this system.

It’s crazy how you ask the same rhetorical questions I would. I truly love your passion for the line of work you are involved in and appreciate you blogging your thoughts about systems that come into our area. As for tomorrow, I feel that this snow won’t really cause too much of an issue due to the rain coming today. Am I right? I know there will be an inch or so on the grassy areas, but you aren’t suspecting a major commute issue on Monday are you? Anyway, I hope you have a great night and enjoy your weekend.

I am ready to head out to grab some video of the storm impacting Yorktown, Virginia. And with those winds coming off the ocean at 35-45+ and gusting up to 60-65MPH, I am in for a rough day tomorrow. If you want some video Jeremy, of what this storm does in Yorktown, and I grab enough, I can send some straight over to ya. I’ll be tracking this storm with my personal weather station all night long, and all day tomorrow. Time for an all-nighter. UGH

All-I apologise if this is not the correct forum for this question regarding a wind direction last night/early this morning. I periodically have a roof leak-SAME place every time and I suspect it is related to wind direction. Can anyone tell me if the direction in Chesapeake was an easterly through mid-morning on Saturday? It feels like a northerly wind as of 11:00 or so Saturday.
thanks!
