Windstorm to hit Netherlands on Thursday

Meteorologists warn of the intense low windstorm Xaver that will bring damaging winds and storm tides to the coasts of the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark on Thursday. Storm / Wikipedia Xaver will be accompanied by intense thunderstorms capable of mixing the 850 mb winds down to the surface, according to Weather Underground. The Xaver’s predicted surface winds will be similar to the ones the Netherlands experienced during the great North Sea storm in February 1, 1953. That storm breached dikes in the Netherlands and England and killed over 2100 people. The maximum storm surge will be in Germany and Denmark. There will be heavy rain on Thursday evening and snow is expected on Friday, according to weeronline.nl
