The National Weather Service estimated wind speeds at 80 mph. Witnesses reported downed trees, but there were no immediate reports of major damage. (11:50 a.m. ET) Severe Weather Threat Lingers ...
A storm deployed weather sensor on the public beach at Anna Maria Island, near the mouth of Tampa Bay, reported 84-mph sustained winds, with a gust to 106 mph at 10 p.m, said Tyler Fleming, a ...
Hurricane Milton made landfall Wednesday night as a "dangerous Category 3" storm near Siesta Key, on Florida's central west coast, the National Hurricane Center said. Siesta Key is a barrier ...
In Canada, a severe thunderstorm is defined as having wind gusts of greater than 90 km/h (56 mph), hail with a diameter of greater than two centimetres (0.79 in), rainfall rates of greater than 50 millimetres (2.0 in) in one hour or greater than 75 millimetres (3.0 in) in three hours, or tornadoes.

The components of a winds and temperatures aloft forecast are displayed as DDss+/-TT: Wind direction (DD) and wind speed (ss), displayed as a 4-digit number, e.g. 3127, indicating a wind direction of 310 degrees true north and a wind speed of 27 knots. Note that wind direction is rounded to the nearest 10 degrees and the trailing zero is excluded.
A reduction of 10 percent of the winds sampled at flight level is used to estimate the maximum sustained winds near the surface, which has been determined during the past decade through the use of GPS dropwindsondes. [8] Doppler weather radar can be used in the same manner to determine surface winds with tropical cyclones near land. [9]
This radar image of Major Hurricane Milton was captured just before landfall on Wednesday evening, Oct. 9, 2024. Since the eye is coming south of Tampa Bay, communities will be spared the worst ...
Tropical cyclones can attain some of the lowest pressures over large areas on Earth. However, although there is a strong connection between lowered pressures and higher wind speeds, storms with the lowest pressures may not have the highest wind speeds, as each storm's relationship between wind and pressure is slightly different.
