Here’s the actual wind gusts at noon today—
Additionally, there are light sprinkles moving through the area, not forecast by any of yesterday’s models.
I took a look to see if any model last night had forecast these mid-day sprinkles and last night’s 06z ECMWF (not available until this morning) got this right.
However, the NAM-NEST missed it, as did the HRRR, HREF and Canadian models. I’m surprised by that.

A warm upper ridge is poised to move in starting Monday, however, another storm system is expected by Thursday.
