Peak gusts at the nearest stations on record
Within 30 miles, nearest first
The archive holds no station readings within 30 miles of College Park yet. Station readings are fetched for the ground around an address when a report is run and kept afterwards, so they fill here once an address near College Park has been run. The reports above do not depend on them.
The finder lists every day with hail on record within 10 miles of an address in the last 2 years, ranked by how many independent sources carried it, and counts the days with wind on record in the same window beside them. For one date, the wind lookup states the peak gusts near the address and how far away each was read.

How this page is made
- What counted
- Every wind report in the archive with a point within 10 miles of the Census centre of College Park (38.9963, -76.9356). A wind day is a calendar date with at least one report: four sources describing one storm are one afternoon of wind, not four. A report's figure is its gust where it has one and its sustained speed otherwise, and the tables say which.
- Measured and estimated
- A speed reported by a person or an instrument on the ground, whether read from an anemometer or judged by a trained observer from what the wind did, is filed as observed; a speed inferred from a grid or an analysis is an estimate and is marked as one. The two are never added together.
- Severe
- A day counts as severe when its strongest figure reached 58 mph, the National Weather Service criterion for a damaging gust. Weaker wind is still on the record, and still on this page.
- Stations
- A station reading is the wind at the instrument, not at any address, and is listed with the distance from the page's centre to the instrument. Readings are fetched for the ground around an address when a report is run and held afterwards, so the stations on a page are the ones within 30 miles that the archive holds readings from.
- What this is not
- Neighbouring places share reports, so counts are not exclusive. This page is the record around a place; it is not a report on any property, and it states no opinion about what reached one.
- Terms used on this page
- Peak gust, sustained wind, independent source: each term this page uses is defined in the glossary as the report prints it.
- The record
- Searched from 1996 to today. Compiled 24 August 2026 and rebuilt daily as the archive deepens. Records are reproduced as the federal sources published them. The coverage page states what the record holds, by kind and by year.
About this record
Everything here is reproduced from public federal and volunteer weather records, as the agencies and observer networks that publish them released it. Titan Weather compiles the record; it does not observe the weather, and it is not affiliated with any source it cites.
No archive holds everything. Storms cross places where nobody is standing, instruments and spotters cover some areas better than others, sources revise their records, and recent reports can take weeks to arrive and settle. Where this page shows nothing, nothing was found in the sources searched, within the period and area it states. That is not a finding that no weather occurred.
These pages describe the public record near a place or on a date. They do not establish what reached any particular property, and nothing here is insurance, legal or engineering advice.
