Tie Your Mother Down

So wind event (event - like a party?) of the decade is supposed to happen today and tomorrow.

NOAA headline:
Strong Santa Ana Wind Event With Damaging Winds Expected
Stron Santa Ana Wind Event with Damaging Winds Expected
NOAA discussion:
THE REAL INTERESTING WEATHER HITS OVERNIGHT WEDNESDAY. THE INSIDE
SLIDER WILL PINCH OFF INTO A CUT OFF LOW AND THEN MIGRATE TO THE
AZ/CA BORDER (GFS) CENTRAL AZ (WRF) OR THE SALTON SEA (EC) THE GFS
SOLN WOULD GENERATE THE STRONGEST WINDS THE EC THE WEAKEST AND THE WRF SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE.

Love the terms...
Pinch off?
Cut off?
Migrate?

Pinch off being my favorite.

    I don't think I've ever heard that "slider will pinch off" sounds painful! So we can expect this sliding pincher around Friday.

    Yup, time to clear the deck and check those dock lines. Hope all is well for our CA friends!

    No Suzie, Tie Your Mother Down was a song by QUEEN. Queen did NOT suck. Nope, nope, nope!

    Ha ha Jomamma - I know "pinch off" sounds like something a guy would say about poop...

    Moondance - it was downgraded here - some gusts, but sounds like inland and LA are getting hammered.

    I figure I will just have a messy hair day... uh like every day.
