As windy as it has been all summer

Posted: 31 Aug 2010 06:00 AM

Sustained wind speeds on Monday were some of the strongest we have seen since early May as shown by the featured image. The black line represents climatology and nicely shows the yearly minimum in winds during the early part of August. Wind speeds will increase as surface temperature gradients become stronger during the spring and fall seasons. Thunderstorms are back visiting the state this morning with more expected into Thursday.
