snowNH Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 We should see that area of precip S and E of LI sound expand as some Hi res models indicate. Maybe interaction with the Jet? But thats the area that I will be watching tonight, until about 8 pm. Then I will be watching the Suh vs. Solder/Vollmer/Light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowNH Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 still thinking we rip 60 to 70 ? sustained 20 or so right now at fal heights. That would be sick if we could rip at least 1 gust to 70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 And... 1) DAMAGING WINDS. IRENE HAS SUCH A BROAD CIRCULATION THAT DAMAGING WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO OCCUR THROUGHOUT THE REGION. SUSTAINED TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS...ON THE ORDER OF 45 TO 60 MPH...WILL OCCUR FOR MUCH OF THE DAY ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION. GUSTS TO HURRICANE FORCE ARE ALSO LIKELY... ESPECIALLY ALONG THE SOUTH COAST...AND IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN .CLOSER TO THE CENTER OF IRENE. BUFKIT SOUNDINGS NO LONGER SHOW MUCH IN THE WAY OF AN INVERSION...WHICH MEANS THAT THESE STRONG DAMAGING WIND GUSTS ARE INDEED LIKELY TO REACH THE SURFACE. IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE SW TO WSW WINDS BEHIND IRENE WILL ALSO PROBABLY PACK A SIGNIFICANT PUNCH...WELL INTO THE EVENING HOURS. Yay. Just got back from MD. 8 hours to finally get ahead of the rain--7 miles from home. Raining lightly with .08 so far. I've followed the threads on my phone (my wife was reading them to me as I drove! lol). What a crazy storm. Given some of the earlier qpf posts, I guess the latest further west track won't impact the chances for some really good rains. 69.1/67--GROSS!

One consistency through all this is that the models have been bringing this thing straight towards our area for 2 days now. Let's see who loses power first, you or I.

PWMan Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I log back on after 6 hours and this thing is STILL over land? If yesterday's abused phrase was "battling dry air," today's is "clearly making NNE jog; will be back over water imminently." 11 hours and counting....

snowman21 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Umm, I need to get back home. I'm going on 84, "Dannel". Worst governor in ct history. I think you'll be ok. Plenty of cars on 95 and state roads driving past cops, so even if such an order exists it certainly is not being enforced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
