The length and speed of these draft lines indicate the wind strength. However, with multiple preceding days of abnormally warm temperatures and multi-week rainfall deficits, fuels could remain receptive to spread within the breezy west-southwest winds despite limited RH reductions.
Scant instability will likely preclude strong thunderstorm development with this activity. To be prepared for an impending storm from now on, we offer you an overview of the current wind strengths and wind directions with our storm radar.
Where will it be windy? Farther east, a few thunderstorms are possible from the Great Lakes east-southeast into the northern Mid-Atlantic states in advance of a mid-level shortwave trough forecast to move east today.
No matter whether in the USA, Canada, Europe, or other countries: With our storm forecast and storm map you get information about the storm intensity (measured by rain intensity), the size, the number of occurring lightnings, and the direction of the storm front.
In this way, you can recognize at an early stage if you will be affected by an impending storm and protect yourself in time.
