Worse conditions by far. Showers falling more heavily and winds are very strong...

Indeed. Conditions are very dangerous now, winds gusting to 70 km/h and would gust even stronger as the storm approaches. Possibly your place would get gusts of 150 km/h during the closest approach, based on wind radii.

[euro6208]

Winds are sustained in the 20's gusting to near 40 mph now as per latest obs, stronger in heavy showers...
