Gusts to 40 mph might be possible from there northward to the RIGHT...

    How will TS Elsa affect the Silvers this week?

    To answer Penny's original question, wind should be below 40 miles an hour in all inland areas as the storm passes. However, knowing CSX, they never miss a chance to at least stick Amtrak, so there could be some delays/cancelations while the storm passes. But by Friday, it should be long...

    How will TS Elsa affect the Silvers this week?

    Exactly, the hardest part of running a weather consultantcy is not predicting what the storm is going to do, it's predicting what NHC is going to do about the storm. LOL

    Sunday(14)/Monday(15) Texas Eagles Cancelled

    Here's the background: ERCOT made their power generation forecast based on the expected weather, including full input from their wind, coal, nuclear and natural gas components (Solar isn't all that big here yet). Wind was slightly impacted from freezing turbines, and coal from the low...

    Sunday(14)/Monday(15) Texas Eagles Cancelled
