WRF 12Z Forecast for 80.5 m (approximately hub height). Times above show forecast valid time in UTC (Z). It looks like Thursday afternoon into evening is strong winds like we were talking about. The stronges winds look to be predicted for just past sunrise. Any comments or thoughts? Maybe there will be downward momentum mixing afterwards.
Is the time in UTC (I presume so, since it starts at 1200? If so, it has the front passing about sunrise, and winds continuing through the night.
ReplyDeleteMy update at noon was shaded toward the GFS, which weakened the flow more overnight than the NAM. Thanks for posting these, Paul.

The times are in UTC (Z) for our plots. I think the front will come through during the morning also.
