Those are sustained winds of up to 26 mph. It’s gusting the 35-40. This is the backside of the low pressure system that brought the threat of tornadoes to the southeast today.

We were pushing 60-70 MPH in Michigan last weekend.

Was crazy.

I’ve seen that. It’s very cool.

The radar looks like there's a hurricane over Texarkana. Rotation and all.

We’re expecting 10-15mph sustained, with possible gusts up to 300mph overnight.

Let’s hope for the former and not the latter.

Impressive low, to be sure.

It remains one of my favorite data-driven maps of all time.

I was worried that when the Weather Channel bought it that it would get lame. But that hasn’t happened—yet. Their smartphone app is excellent also. I gladly pay for an annual subscription.

Oops. I see now that you meant the wind site. Yes. It's awesome.

Wunderground is one of the sites that I have set to autoload when I fire up Chrome in the morning. Didn’t realize the Weather Channel had bought them.

Winds hit 62mph in my town on Friday...I literally got blown into another driving lane.

Happened back in 2012.

Ah! My old stomping ground. I lived in Oak Park back in the 70s. It’s a great city. My family may be vacationing there this summer.

Maybe it’s been so long that I forgot that it happened - ha!

Neat. Really calm here now but I believe that system is supposed to bring me a foot of snow tomorrow.

I’m looking forward to it and am tempted to head out early and ski all day, though that might leave me a hairy drive home.

Indeed! I used to be in WI for a small number of months, but now I actually have my own apartment near the lake.

Oh and the wind speed was recorded at O’Hare...can’t imagine that was a very fun day for that airport.

Despite El Niño, we have had a terribly dry winter here in TX. And warm, too. This is the coolest it’s been in a while, and we actually got almost 1.5" of rain last night.

My parents were divorced, and my father lived in VA. My brother and I went through O’Hare many times. I credit those trips, flying just the two of us, for sparking my love of aviation and airports. On one trip to Chicago with my wife 20-some years ago, we spent an afternoon just hanging out at the airport. We had a couple of drinks at the Seven Continents lounge. I wonder if it’s still there. Great place to watch planes and sip a drink.

This makes for awful cross country weather. (In a Cessna)

I’m sure there’s a pretty nasty xwind at AUS today. I should have headed down to watch the show.

DAB and AUS both are reading 23kt gusts at the station.

Gusts overnight here are supposed to be upwards of 35-40 mph. No idea waht that is in kts.

The station reported 28 mph. So, close enough really. There is some variation in them.

Looking at your headline, I’d guess you’d passed the buck.

I can remember flying 707s out of O’Hare and the pilot spooling up the engines against the brakes to maximize acceleration, or minimize takeoff roll, or whatever.
