A Windy First Day of March 2014 in San Jose, CA (Saturday, March 1, 2014)

Описание: Watch in high quality (480p). Gusty southeasterly winds have battered our region this day in San Jose, CA. These winds were caused by the same system that brought drenching rains to our region Friday, just the day before. The low pressure system's center was swirling just off coast, driving gusty southerly winds up into our area.

The video starts during the morning hours. Winds were very gusty especially around the hillsides and higher elevations. Trees bend and sway. Peak winds this day have occurred during the late morning and early afternoon hours. (Photos and video clips filmed on Saturday, March 1, 2014 in and around San Jose, CA.)

***Blustery and windy conditions was felt throughout the day this day...after a few days of wet and stormy weather for our region. Winds were coming in from the south southeast. A pair of storms had brought lots of beneficial rain to the parched state this week, a welcome news since we have just endured our driest year in recorded history. The 1st one hit Wednesday while the 2nd hit Friday. It was this 2nd system that was swirling just off the coast, giving us these southerly winds. Even after a wet February, the Bay Area would still need five to 10 more significant storms by the end of April for rain totals to hit seasonal averages...
