weatherwiz Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I tried that about an hour ago. Fail I'll try again in a bit. So tired but at the same time just don't think I can sleep. Skywarn activates at 4:00 AM too so I should try to get at least 2 hours of sleep then just do the coffee route if needed. But once the storm impacts I'm sure adrenaline will kick in!

wxsniss Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Apologies for the DT-esque drawing. A) huge band that brought multiple tornadoes and 2-5 inches of rain in 2-3 hours to central NJ / southeast PA and now pushing into NYC B ) an eye? TWC calls it that and seems to be persisting... this is some of the clearest I've seen it C) lotta dry air wrapping around Interestingly, lotta of the strongest airs aloft are occurring to the south and eastern quadrants where rainfall is not that intense. Questions for the Pro's or anyone else with thoughts: Any other analysis of this satellite image? Are we seeing transition to extratropical system? I'm concerned that the huge band (A) was energy dissipating from center, and that the dry air pulled around © is really going to interfere with maintaining strength. On the other hand, we do have what seems to be a steady eye (B ) we are over water, and strong jet is over head. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Its not surprising with what the models have been doing to the low level wind field out to the east. Yeah the wind damage should be pretty significant from this, the grounds are just completely soaked. I cringe at what 50-70 mph winds will do with gusts potentially higher than that in spots. Ugly day coming up. Time for some sleep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 E CT/RI/SE MA hurricane gusts? Certainly along the shoreline its possible/likely and perhaps further inland if everything mixes just right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianLaverty Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I know that we are several hours away from the good winds... but jesus... I expected better then 2 MPH for my location at this time (Cumberland) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Will...60 mph gust at KGAY....yay or nay It'll be close, but for YBY I'll go just shy...near you though it will probably break it.

ski MRG Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Andy's chief Steve C.on channel 10 had 70-90 gusts in Pete's area... That's straight line of course. It's going to get ugly fast. We've had so much rain in the last week trees will be felled easily. The good news is we'll finally get rid of the hanging widowmakers from the great ice storm.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Its not surprising with what the models have been doing to the low level wind field out to the east. Was that a surface wind and do you think we're still going to see impressive winds here 50 knots plus? Not trying to pin you, haven't been looking tonight was at the concert. Close to the center it's formidable but nowhere near the 115 of course.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisrotary12 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Dude sleep is for the weak and next week. Lots of Jagerbombs in to keep me going........Pulling all nighter. First landfalling Hurricane(hopefully) in my life(was like 9 months old for Bob). Sleep is not necessary, even though I have gotten like 9 hours sleep in the last 3 days.

HarveyLeonardFan Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I'll be shocked if I gust to hurricane force. If I hit 60 I'll be pleasantly surprised. I'm predicting 57 for Newport's official reporting station in Middletown UUU....which is a few miles north of downtown Newport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semper911 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Uh, sorry to post a stupid question, but does anyone know why the locations are not showing up in everyone's posts? I checked my settings and I have avatars and sig off, but it used to give me locations. Thanks, and good luck to everyone tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
