wxsmwhrms Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I know that this storm will have lots of wind, crazy rain, and a pretty bad surge b/c the the trajectory of the storm... But this is the worst looking hurricane i've ever seen... http://www.ssd.noaa....2/loop-avn.html Bryan Norcross was just commenting about how it doesn't look very impressive on satellite - but also said neither did Gloria or Bob.

Dosh Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I will say the winds, at this stage, have been slightly more impressive than I thought they would be. The trees are really moving around the last half hr. Not sure on exact gust speeds yet. I'm in new brunswick and we have a light breeze. highest gust so far has been 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isnice Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Even on a bright sunny day there's more wind than right now. I've never seen it so dead out there, but the rain is just relentless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Have fun boys. Believe it or not, I'm on vacation and missing this. LOL. Looks like it scrapes NJ as it moves NNE. Should be some good winds..thinking 40-60 maybe gusts to 70 near the center on the west and north side. Probably gusts to 85 or isolated higher east of the center.

A-L-E-X Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Bryan Norcross was just commenting about how it doesn't look very impressive on satellite - but also said neither did Gloria or Bob. I think we have to give up on the idea that hurricanes or tropical storms up here ever look like what they do down in the tropics lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psv88 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Gusts so far PHL 45, AC Airport 51, Wilmington 43, Dover 44, Wildwood 47 AC was higher...i saw 55, someone else saw 59, but definitely saw at 55 between obs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janetjanet998 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 VDM pressure up to 955MB max flight level winds 87 kts east quad...but it seems like it only slowly drops off from there as you go NE....the convection just south of you guys may be mixing more of that down so even though winds aloft are weaker closer to you guys, a higher percentage is mixing down..so that is one of the reasons I think you may get your strongest winds in these bands later tonight rather then the core later....or it may be a wash and you will max out overnight and hold as the "core" approaches.... or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowGoose69 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I think we have to give up on the idea that hurricanes or tropical storms up here ever look like what they do down in the tropics lol. Bob looked pretty good on satellite east of NJ with a well defined eye, Gloria did not. I'd imagine the 38 storm if there was satellite would have looked good.

Isotherm Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Winds have picked up significantly in the past hour here in Villanova. Lights flickering occasionally. Gusts have been generally under 40mph thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ag3 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Gusts so far PHL 45, AC Airport 51, Wilmington 43, Dover 44, Wildwood 47 Just to add. None of these locations are or will ever be on the NE quadrant. That's the only quadrant producing hurricane force winds. You need to check offshore buoys for those observations. Parts of NYC and especially Nassau County and CT will be on the NE quadrant by morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute Humidity Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Looks like some convection now on nw side of eye wall, I'm moving my family to the west side of my houses there are branches hitting roof from two 85' + Black Walnut trees on neighbors yard. 1 took out their car during Ernesto so not taking any chances. They have 30" bases and branches are 18" 50" up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isotherm Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 0Z NAM has cut precip by like 65%.... Certainly no 9"+ like was modelled a few days back. Looks to me like a general 3-5" across the region, which is still significant when combined with the storm surge and wind gusts over 50-55mph.
