  1. Isabel is such an underrated storm. That’s the high tide mark for a mid-Atlantic purely tropical storm in my lifetime. I think the storm beginning with an “S” made many forget about Isabel North of Maryland
  2. One thing about Lee, hurricane force winds now extend extremely far from center. Recon is finding this thing has exploded in size. It’s probably a high end cat 2 now (FL 105-108 kts, SFMR 90 kts) tho there is evidence to keep it a 3 for posterity at least but wow at the expansion of hurricane force winds
  3. That 0z run would be one of the worst erosion events ever for the SE coast lol
  4. Do not, I repeat do no use any sort of tropical pressure scale to estimate wind of high latitude, post tropical systems. Pressures are lower up north and lower pressures in these regions will not be associated to winds the same way they are for storms that are purely tropical in nature and in lower latitudes. I’m not saying a Cat 1 is off the table but some models have been showing pressures as low as the 950’s and 960’s near any landfall and wind will certainly be nowhere near those levels
  5. The board is going to go full blown weenie mode by Wednesday
  6. 0.08” yesterday for a 3 day total of 1.86”
  7. Margot looks like a hurricane this morning. Think we’ll see an update at 11. The activity continues
  8. Recon is showing signs of a double wind maximum
  9. Lee keeps trying, but I think a combination of done pesky dry air and possibly some remnant shear keep plaguing the system keeping it in check
  10. All I’ll say for those seeking hurricane conditions in NE with these westward shifts is forget about it. Coming further west seems to only happen if the storm avoids capture and slows down allowing HP to build back in somewhat. A storm slowing down over the frigid waters off Massachusetts/Maine will weaken to a Nor Easter gale by the time it makes it to the coast
  11. 1.63” from multiple rounds of storms and showers Saturday
  12. I WAS THINKING OF THIS. Very similar situation
  13. Recon shows this a mid range cat 2 at the moment. The storm clearly ingested dry air. That takes time to resolve
  14. It’s got the “took a huge gulp of ML dry air” look
  15. Lee dropped 45 kts from 5 am to 11 pm yesterday. From rapid intensification to rapid weakening in a short period
  16. Picked up 0.15” from yesterday’s afternoon storm
  17. Inner core then nothing. That’s not a healthy look
  18. As strong as Lee was last night/early this morning, it had nothing on Jova. Definitely some SW shear at the moment, you can clearly see it impacting the cloud tops to the SW of the storms main convective envelope. We’ll have to see if Lee has a part 2 phase of intensification and also what internal changes occur as to whether a or not the storm peaked earlier today or if we can see a second max
  19. What’a remarkable with this storm is just how well forecast this RI has been
  20. Based on recon and the fact this thing is still going to town, I think it’s a given we’ve just witnessed the most insane rate of RI in Atlantic history
  21. I cannot emphasize how crazy I think recon would have been for Jova last evening. I truly think that was one of the higher end of higher end storms in our lives. We’ll never truly know how strong it got but it’s structure was perfect and the pinhole eye was terrifying
