Winds in Osceola County..? Comments PLEASE

[Josephine96]

Hi people..

I know I've been trying to give you guys info with my forecasts.. now I need some..

With the hurricane wind watch now for my county.. What do you think my winds will be here in Osceola..?

I think {depending on track and storms' strength} I could see winds as high as 80-85..

Opinions are wanted and welcome..

[Josephine96]

I guess nobody wants to help me figure out what my winds might be lol

John.. Email Tom Terry.. He is very good about doing stuff like that

[Josephine96]

LOL Thank you Chad.. Good point.. If you don't mind.. Can you please delete my wind threads.. I know it was irresponsible for me to ask and then to just flat out do something myself..

Good one Chad!

It wouldn't shock me to see 80-85 especially in gusts in Osceola. We must remember when hurricanes come inland, their wind field spreads out and alot of it comes in gusts within banding structures. So if you see a heavy band close to the center, assume winds could go over hurricane force with that. The worse of the weather will definitely be from Orlando south and east to the east coast. West of Orlando might fare pretty well with this, but tropical storm winds may occur in say the Disney World Complex.
