A-L-E-X Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Did she say when you guys expect a change over to Freezing Rain, and if the Snow line will work in from the north? She also said that the tornado warning was until 4:15 PM and the anchors had to correct her. Before that they had to point out the tornado warnings in NJ because she couldn't read her own map and said there were no tornado warnings currently. They said, "What are those red areas on your map, Amy?" She said, "Oh, I missed that, I wasn't looking there." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALhurricane Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 There is really a low threat of hail in a trop system. I know on 4nbc, jannice huff said large hail possible. Isn't that grounds for AMS/NWS broadcast certificate removal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthNJwx Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 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 Thankfully, I think most of NJ from Ocean County on south will make out relatively okay with the surge as a result of this. The evening tide was plenty high and the morning tide will be up there as well, but I think the area can get by without the kind of impact that will be seen in the NYC area. 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. This was discussed in the live thread of the main forum. I believe the wind maxima was found ~100 miles east of the center, and the consensus of the red taggers in the thread was that there was little to no evidence of 80 mph sustained winds anywhere (though said location ~100 miles east of the center had the FL max, whatever it actually was). 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. I made no such claim, nor did I even attempt or mean to imply such an idea. I've simply been pointing out that it's odd - alright, downright strange - to find those kinds of obs in this kind of situation, and that it suggests that the storm structure overall is far from that of a typical Cat 1 hurricane, even at this latitude. All past hurricanes I can think of that took at least somewhat similar tracks (Gloria, Belle, Donna, etc.) had cores stronger than outlying bands, with strong winds measured in those exact locations that were seeing 20 mph sustained tonight. But, like I said, that's got absolutely nothing to do with what NYC/LI may or may not see later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersWx92 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Wow! We just had the strongest gust of the night. Things were blowing everywhere--including relatively big branches. It's calmed down in the last minute but that was really intense. I had some very strong wind gusts during that time too. I was outside for what I thought was the strongest gust of the night: everything was blowing everywhere, and I heard a loud cracking close by, so a large branch probably came down.

winterwx21 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Awesome gusts here! Easily 60mph gusts. This is also the most impressive flooding I've seen since Floyd. Tremendous night. Of course we are raving about 60mph winds, but this is nothing compared to REAL hurricanes that they see down south. They would laugh at us for thinking these winds are impressive. But for up here, it's pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
