Absolute Humidity Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Transformers seem to be frying all over now, I'm losing power a few seconds every other minute. The winds this go around are a bit strong then earlier, and the TOR warning doesnt help. this is bad. Freehold NJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthlight Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Winds have increased dramatically here the last 20 minutes. OKX radar still shows thunderstorms making there way onshore now near Sandy Hook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthNJwx Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I know those graphics are meant to just be a guide, but that's incredibly misleading. Sustained winds have been in the 20-25 mph range (and occasionally even less) on the Delmarva coast and Cape May recently. While they have been higher further north, most places aren't exceeding 30 mph right now. That graphic is way off from the ground truth at each data point.

Paweatherguy1 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 KWWD, in the center of it, is only gusting to 29 mph as of 2:55 am. For whatever reason, only rainfall rates seem to be intense in that band. The bands further up the NJ coast are producing stronger winds. Does a red tagger care to maybe explain why this is? I would usually expect in a storm with a band like that hurricane force wind gusts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's why I've been bringing attention to it. It seems to make no sense at all. Hopefully, the lack of intense conditions there is at least preventing significant damage.

NickD2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 The eyewall is not organized, and as such, it isn't transferring the high winds from above the surface to the ground.

NorthNJwx Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 The eyewall is not organized, and as such, it isn't transferring the high winds from above the surface to the ground. Based on the ground obs, you would think Irene is a tropical depression now I think this points very clearly to a storm in that grey transition area - something between tropical and extratropical. The point of "landfall" is not particularly important, save for wind direction differences and the potential for actual stronger winds just E of the eye. You guys have alot of wind to go through, in case you're wondering how nasty the backside is, the peak winds in DC topped those of Isabel a few hrs ago. Prepare What I like to hear!

TKFJ Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Blah... Could do without the heavy rain in Union County. Already had street flooding and basement flooding, seems to be under control now thanks to the slight lull. To think I was going to sleep tonight.

Dark Energy Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 The stationary front is around TTN up to my area (hunterdon county NJ) over to somerset NJ and Morris. This is an area that may see TOR warnings soon. Good flow from the E ahead of the boundary and NE behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
