i imagine a CAG system like this one will continue to wobble quite a bit as it coalesces
-
This storm's got that look that John in the EPAC just had while it was developing. I'm expecting Hurricane Helene by 11am tomorrow. I also imagine that surge could be a bigger deal for this one than for some others recently, because it has a little more time over water, its larger size/lower pressure, and the interaction that it will have with the trough over the deep south.
-
It’s interesting how many hurricanes have targeted CONUS, despite this year’s failure to meet expectations. If Helena makes landfall at hurricane strength, 2024 will have 4 CONUS landfalling storms. The only years since 1950 to see 4+ CONUS landfalling storms were 1964, 1985, 2004, 2005 and 2020.

PTC 9 will become Helena 09L, PTC 8 never became a tropical storm so 08L is unused this year for tropical storms… hope that clears things up!
-
a potential tropical cyclone that never formed

Generally one waits until a depression has formed to rely on hurricane models, since a lot can change based on where the low forms and how long it takes to actually form. Hurricane models can overestimate intensity of a storm before it has formed because they sometimes assume the depression has already formed and that intensification can start immediately, when that is not the case.

some westerly shear is evident and recon seems to indicate that the storm isn't perfectly stacked. the MLC seems to be east of the LLC. but hurricane doesn't seem far off at all.

September vibes - Last 90s for some, 1st frost for others

what does coc stand for? (i’m a former NYC poster…) -
once in middle school i told a classmate about “corn sweat” and he said he would never eat a corn ever again
-
LOL but that’s the only way i know how to describe it occasional giant drops, like every couple seconds a fat drop falls
-
drizzling here but the drops are MASSIVE
-
haven't heard that name in years
-
that's true, i think about 2/25 this year is when i felt pretty safe on a "no more snow" call for southern CT
-
dew haven has got you covered
-
Plenty of research has been done on this question, for the general case: https://www.gfdl.noaa.gov/global-warming-and-hurricanes/ As for this year, it's been quite active up to this point, as the last eight years have been generally...

my dewpoint hit 74 today
-
new haven CT just had a loud CTG strike and then immediately started pouring
-
pouring in new haven with at least one lightning strike
-
on another note, here in dew haven we've finally hit that coveted 72 degree dewpoint.
-
lots of moderate 0.2" per hour rain moving into CT, the heavier stuff is staying over/just off the sound. hopefully this is light enough to not contribute to flooding... at least that was my experience with lighter rain during IDA

naugatuck river from bridge, derby ct, approx 7:15pm. wishing the best to all affected by this awful disaster.
-
i witnessed the housatonic/naugatuck confluence (derby) a couple hours ago. both rivers were raging and well above normal levels. the naugatuck rose 2-3 feet from 6:15pm to 7:15pm. i saw tires and trees floating, possibly a vehicle, along with other assorted detritus. thankfully derby is on very high ground and safe.

First spots are breaking 12" near the Housatonic River at Stevenson CT. Insanity

369 Oxford Rd, Oxford CT was the address mentioned
