加州最高風速209英里/小時——可能創(chuàng)紀錄

A gust of 209 mph was recorded atop a California peak on Sunday, a potential record that wowed forecasters monitoring a cold storm that moved south through the state dumping snow, rain and hail.

周日，加利福尼亞州的一座山峰上記錄到了時速209英里的陣風，這一潛在的記錄讓天氣預報員震驚，們監(jiān)測到一場向南移動的寒冷風暴帶來了雪、雨和冰雹。

The blast of wind was captured around 7:45 am by an instrument at 9,186 feet (2,800 meters) on Kirkwood Mountain south of Lake Tahoe, said National Weather Service forecaster Alex Hoon.

美國國家氣象局預報員亞歷克斯·胡恩說，這股風是在早上7點45分左右被一臺在塔霍湖以南的柯克伍德山9186英尺(2800米)處的儀器捕捉到的。

He and his colleagues at the NWS office in Reno, Nevada watched in surprise as wind speeds across the crest of the Sierra Nevada hit 150 mph and kept rising.

他和他的同事們在內華達州里諾市的國家氣象局辦公室驚奇地看到，穿過內華達山脈山頂的風速達到每小時150英里，而且還在不斷上升。

“It went up and up,” Hoon said. It could take months for state climatologists to verify the record, he said.

“它不斷地上升，”胡恩說。他說，州氣候學家可能需要幾個月的時間來核實這一記錄。

“But the way that the winds did ramp up, it looks legitimate,” Hoon said. “It’s an exciting moment for sure.”

胡恩說：“但從風力確實加大的角度來看，這是合理的。”“這確實是一個令人興奮的時刻。”

The previous record was a gust of 199 mph at Ward Mountain west of Lake Tahoe on Nov. 16, 2017.

此前的最高時速紀錄，是2017年11月16日在太浩湖以西的沃德山創(chuàng)下的199英里/小時。
