“Wow! 265mph jet stream wind last night over parts of the east coast! Great for flight if it’s at your tail. Not so great, otherwise!,” meteorologist Lisa Green posted on X.
Santa Ana winds are katabatic, gravity-driven winds, draining air off the high deserts, while the Diablo-type wind originates mainly from strongly sinking air from aloft, pushed toward the coast by higher pressure aloft. Thus, Santa Anas are strongest in canyons, whereas a Diablo wind is first noted and blows strongest atop the various mountain ...
Depending on the intensity of the storm as it moves away from the U.S. East coast, a period of strong winds and fierce cold will follow from the Great Lakes to the Northeast later next week.Such a ...
