Severe Thunderstorm Warning Issued: Wednesday Afternoon Wind Update
November 30, 2022
Early this afternoon the line of storms we have been expecting promoted a Severe Thunderstorm Warning by The National Weather Service. This was issued at 1:15 PM and included Hagerstown, Martinsburg, and Winchester until 2 PM. This is a sign of the strong wind gusts we have been discussing. While there may be some hail, pockets of winds gusting to 58 mph are possible in this cell/line.

If there are more warnings issued, I will add an update below.
2 PM Update
This appears to be moving faster
NO WARNINGS Have Been Extended, but the squall line may still push winds from 40 to 50 mph.
Frederick and Gettysburg get this by 2:30 PM. York and Westminster may get it closer to 3 PM.
We need to consider tracking this through our metro areas for the next few hours.
The final push with this weather system may be the strongest one. So far most of the region has had wind gusts in the 20 mph range. Baltimore’s BWI has observed up to a 25 mph wind gust this morning. The next wave may be stronger.
The line of rain will signal the shift of the winds and colder air mass moving in. This is when we could see a brief period of winds up in the 40 mph to 50 mph range. Here is a quick look at the timing.
