CT Rain Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I'll also say that with the possible exception of Edouard... this is the biggest SNE hurricane threat since Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 This is my 65th hurricane season....maybe my 58th of awareness. My benchmark storms are Carol, Edna, Hazel, Donna, and to a much lesser extent Bob. Disclaimer: I was on the west coast for Gloria. I'm thinking Irene has a solid chance of making into my personal hall of fame. You might have missed it but Scooters heading out West, I kidded him about being the Jerry of old winters, Bliz of 78 style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowNH Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I don't understand the people complaining about how "I wish this looked better". This thing is moving at a snails pace. It probably has time for 2 or 3 ERCs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 OK good thought I was going insane. Got to work at 6 or so... did wx in the morning... out to do a story around noon and then anchored 2 hours of our earthquake special report. Looooong day with no sleep. 2. Hours on rattling dishes in SNE, god that must have sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnold214 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I guess we can definitely say the east trend has finally stopped. It slowed/stopped at 12z and now we're going in the other direction a bit. The thing is it can easily resume. All that has to happen in a hair more westerlies develop and it goes to the BM. Given the modeled slower than normal speed of the storm do you think this has a chance to make landfall in SNE as a 'cane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh God, here we go. The usual with JB and his constant doubting and bashing of the NHC/NWS.

Given the modeled slower than normal speed of the storm do you think this has a chance to make landfall in SNE as a 'cane? Oh absolutely to point number 1. The east trend had been so substantial each consecutive run we were 5 runs away from the thing hitting Bermuda. So I guess I'm glad the trend ceased. To the second point I don't know. I think the winds may disappoint given the cool SSTs/no baroclinic enhance... but at the same time the duration of any winds could be impressive.

What an idiotic statement from him. Yes, it is a Cat 1 if it has Cat-1 winds. The central pressure isn't what rips roofs off of buildings. He's so busy trying to entertain his audiences, he doesn't bother to stay up with the latest research Re: wind-pressure relationships. Ugh-- that guy is just... ugh.

mattmfm Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Just a curiosity question, I'm reading storm surged peaked at 11.5' in Providence during Bob, but I'm assuming that was peak tide height, not storm surge? Guessing the surge was really only 7' or so. 2011-08-28 07:54 EDT 5.50 feet High Tide 2011-08-28 13:18 EDT -0.35 feet Low Tide 2011-08-28 18:51 EDT Moonset 2011-08-28 19:26 EDT Sunset 2011-08-28 20:15 EDT 5.92 feet High Tide With astronomical tides this high, would only need a 1-1.5' surge to reach flood stage and a 5.5' surge to echo Bob.

HurricaneJosh Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Re: the cyclone's intensity if and when it reaches New England... Yep, it's highly linked to its forward speed once it crosses 35N. Right now, it's modeled to move relatively slowly for a 'cane in this region, but I'm wondering if the models might start speeding it up and bringing it more in line with climo. We have a couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHIPS does at 75, if it would happen it would be this time of year, funny little lobe of higher SSTs pointing at the Twin Forks, lots of warm water fish caught on the beaches this year , weird year for fishing.

Connecticut and the power company were unable to really handle the damage from 6 hours of 50-60 knot gusts in some lower Fairfield County towns in the March 2010 noreaster.
