Wildness
As for wind gusts potential and power outage potential, it will
come down to low level lapse rates and how well the boundary will
mix. Given this system is rapidly intensifying, it will be
accompanied by a strong pressure rise/fall couplet that will enhance
the wind threat. Wind and rainfall/flood threats will ultimately
hinge on the exact track of the low level circulation and
accompanying low level jet, which currently ranges from eastern
PA/NJ into the Lower Hudson River Valley, to eastward into the CT
River Valley. Too early to pin down these details, but the potential
is there for a high impact event. Over the weekend we will likely be
able to add these details to the forecast. Greatest impacts from
this upcoming storm will be felt here in SNE from Sunday night into
Monday. Some headlines will likely be issued later tonight or Sat.
