The second phase of this wind event will be post-frontal winds Monday afternoon and evening. The track of the deepening surface low is quite favorable (maybe a little too far northwest of our area), but the strength of the post-frontal wind fields is marginal. Latest guidance shows 40-50 knots at 850 mb, which will support at least advisory level gusts (50 mph) but is marginal to 60 mph. Some model runs have also shown a wave of low pressure developing along the front, which can diminish post-frontal wind fields. There is no doubt Monday will be windy, but given the uncertainty in magnitude have left the High Wind Watch up for the Niagara Frontier to Monroe County. Also, winds on Monday will be more widespread, as opposed to downslope winds which are more localized. Because of this, maintained most wind headlines through at least early Monday evening.
