Kentucky Mesonet site records 101 mph wind gust News from Western Kentucky University The Kentucky Mesonet measured a record wind gust of 101 mph at Murray in Calloway County at 12:25amCT,. Tuesday, April 26, 2011. A storm report submitted to the National Weather Service office in Paducah by the Calloway County emergency manager indicated extensive wind damage in that area. Mesonet stations in Hopkinsville, Leitchfield, Marion and Henderson also recorded wind gusts between 56 and 66 mph. Mesonet stations have recorded heavy rainfall across the state in recent days and throughout the month of April. The forecast calls for continued heavy rain through Wednesday as a southerly flow of moisture-laden air continues to fuel storms before the low pressure system moves out of the region. Here is some rainfall data, provided by Dr. Stuart Foster, state climatologist and director of the Kentucky Mesonet at Western Kentucky University:
If we had only hourly data we would not know about these gusts, said Dr. Rezaul Mahmood, associate director of the Kentucky Mesonet. If we did not have stations located over many places we would not have these precipitation amounts measured. Our data is key to the decision making and disaster response. For additional weather and climate data, visit the Kentucky Mesonet website.
