900 miles of wind
For more than a day and a half, the wind has roared out of the northwest. At one time I counted five vertical lines of pressure from west to east across Iowa. At four millibars difference for each line that is about 20 millibars difference from Sioux City, IA, to Davenport. No wonder the winds have been so fierce. And, at an average of 25 miles per hour for more than 36 hours that is 900 miles of wind! The leading edge must be on the East Coast now. Our pressure now is about 1033 millibars. Very high and the calm is on its way as cold air descends on us. Weather is so amazing.
