A-L-E-X Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 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 It's going to be windy all day tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottB Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Easily 60 mph wind gust here. Recording on my porch while I'm sheltering two of the abandoned cats in the area. They're just hanging next to me on a towel watching the storm with me. This is incredible. Looking at the radar, oh god. Edison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manny Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 New Paltz in the hudson valley is feeling it. Strong winds, with heavy torrential tropical rains for the last 4 or 5 hours. Pretty impressive, flooding is becoming an issue here. How's everything down there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cfa Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Those bands coming into the central Jersey shore are packing strong winds and very heavy rains, the worst of the night.

Dark Energy Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 watch as those cells come ashore into NW NJ. Could be some TORs. Boundary is sitting right over me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJHurricane Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 While the center is very clearly just east of the MD/DE border, obs from that area are extremely unimpressive - I cannot find a single station gusting to TS force along the coast of either state, and KWWD in Cape May County, NJ, is only reporting NE 20 G 31. I'm definitely not trying to make a broader statement about the rest of the system here, but it's just downright weird to me that winds are that weak near the center. The strongest winds continue to be located on the backside well to the S and SW of the circulation, and I think that idea could hold as Irene continues to move up the coast. the system is decaying even though its still impressive as a whole...the wind field I am guessing has become quite assymetric....seems to be an area of max wind gusts well out ahead of the remaining center of circulation, as well as a maxima of gusts to the southwest...have to say its windy/breezy here in SW Jersey but nothing as impressive as that first big band that spawned the tornado warnings. Also, storm surge looks to still be impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteoutwx1796 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 This isn't going to be pretty guys...I think we're on the quadrant for damaging winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ag3 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Again, there are no reports from the east side of the center. So you wont see the strong wind reports until that area hits NYC and LI. NHC still finding 80mph sustained winds on their last report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paweatherguy1 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Just an observation for you guys, that I know has been discussed probably...however, you are going to get raked by high winds all day tomorrow, probably for a bunch of hours even after it stops raining. Just going on obs from Moorhead City at about midnight tonight, they had an hourly op of 30 MPH sustained AND 75 MPH gusts....very odd to see that.....I wonder if this is an Ike type situation, where even where there is no rain there is so much energy that those strong UL winds are making it to the surface?

ag3 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 This isn't going to be pretty guys...I think we're on the quadrant for damaging winds. Looks like we are. People really shouldnt be looking at Coastal Jersey and thinking that will be our conditions. They are on the western side of the storm. The eastern side is where there are sustained winds of 60-70mph with higher gusts and thats headed right for eastern NYC and Nassau County.
