Logan11 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Gilbert was fun....... I knew some people in the SUNY ALB met dept. and watched the sat. loops etc there. Though I wasn't a met major. Obviously no net access back then, but they got stuff probably via primitive modem etc. hugo and gilbert were the 2 storms that got me into the weather. hugo was something else.

ORH_wxman Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 what's the timing? Cape May at 60 hours....just SE of ALB at 72 hours...no 66 hour plot unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Quick question, maybe I'm missing something but they keep talking about how the ground is saturated in SNE which will make it easier for trees to come down....where is the ground saturated? It's been a while since I got a good rain. Like I said maybe I missed something since I havent been paying to close of attention to the weather before Irene, was just wondering.

CoastalWx Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Its like a once per decade event...I'll always love huge snowstorms more than anything, but this type of excitement is different. I'm a little more "edgy" and nervous than I normally am with big winter storms....because there's legitimate concern over major damage in this and also a lot of uncertainty in the exact track even until the last second. Its also like experiencing history...people will remember 1/12/11 for a while but a lot of people will also forget it within 5 years, but people don't forget hurricanes here. '38, '44, Carol, Donna, Gloria, Bob....people talk about those years later and even generations later. We don;t know if this storm will be worthy of being placed with that group, but its still exciting to track the possibility. I remember the feeling I had with Bob and never felt the same since. It's something that is really unique. Snowstorms are a dime a dozen these days, Hurricanes aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Cape May at 60 hours....just SE of ALB at 72 hours...no 66 hour plot unfortunately. I think that was initalized off of a crack pipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I breezed through here with no traffic in 12/09, but maybe I was lucky. I guess it was maybe 3 PM. I made it home to here near ALB like 11 PM. Its almost straight east from there. Careful with that route. Hit it at the wrong time, multiple hour delays possible at Blue Water Bridge in Port Huron. --- I am here: http://maps.google.c...4415,-73.351328 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSUmetstud Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Cape May at 60 hours....just SE of ALB at 72 hours...no 66 hour plot unfortunately. a bit slower sounds like...I think the western solutions may be slowing it down a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Thanks! Definitely wasn't aware that areas in CT and Metro NYC were that above average. Hadn't noticed since i'm in the 0-2 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I think that was initalized off of a crack pipe I certainly don't buy that track...but if the Euro keeps showing it until 36 hours out, then we might have to take it seriously. But given we are still 66-72h out, there is really no reason to believe it given all the usual biases we have seen time and time again with TCs in the northeast.

yoda Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Cape May at 60 hours....just SE of ALB at 72 hours...no 66 hour plot unfortunately. Its in NE NC at 48.... so looks like its a NNE movement from there. Looks a bit SW of Cape May at 60 hrs on my maps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The past month has been very wet, if you go back 60 days you can see it's actually been rather dry...but lots of rain over the past few weeks. Something that definitely would enhance wind damage potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisM Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 we need better hurricane names. Irene is the name of a one legged japanese girl (get it?), when are we gonna get Hurricane Torstein or Svengdo. Something with 125 MPH winds should be named accordingly. anyway, back on topic...

OSUmetstud Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Uk......that bi*ch was over like Georgia's Bank like 48 hours ago. like the GFDL...I think its tended to be on the left side of guidance. The GFDL and UKMET were still suggesting a FL/Gulf threat while the other models had already turned the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan11 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 One thing I don't buy is that it would all of a sudden veer northeast after NJ as if it was a Nor'easter following the coastal front, etc. I think it will move on a very gradual bend NNE and no abrupt fades NE. If it is near NYC it ends up in like northern NH. If it crosses eastern LI then sure it heads to like BOS.... Its mine today as well. Happy Birthday!
