Brian5671 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I said this would probably underperform, very few strong wind events have verified. March 2010 was a good one. Other than that, you are right, always seems to be on the low end of verification. Just think 20 years ago there was no such thing as a HWW or WA. They would just say it's going to be windy. If today were a school day around here, they'd find a way to have a delay or early dismissal for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoSki14 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Well now strongest winds were put off till later am/afternoon so well see Probably just a typical late winter windy day, maybe some gusts reaching 40mph but nothing extraordinary. The only two times that I remember major winds were in March 2010 obviously, and with Ernesto in 2006. The latter was completely unexpected and had a very long duration, hurricane force gusts recorded at the jersey shore. Honorable mention was probably Boxing day or the January snowstorm, some solid blizzard conditions for several hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 True true, I'm hoping we can still maybe see some 60mph gust We should be able to make to 50-55 mph from around the city airports but the best chance of approaching 60 may be Eastern Long island like we have seen several times this winter so far. We'll have to see how much low level jet verifies once we see the really deep mixing this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weathergun Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 The sun will help mix down winds late this morning and this afternoon. But the 50-60kt 850mb jet streak is lifting out into New England this morning. So the winds be increasing through the day, but not as high as it looked before, over NYC and LI. 6zGFS 12z 6zGFS 15z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weathergun Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Upton 10:02am Update: .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT REMAINS BETWEEN DEEPENING LOW PRES THAT WILL MEANDER NEAR NEW BRUNSWICK AND HIGH PRES BUILDING INTO THE MIDWEST. FORECAST MODEL SOUNDINGS DEPICTING A SOLID ADVISORY EVENT AND ISOLATED HIGH WIND WARNING POTENTIAL TODAY. WILL CONTINUE HIGH WIND WARNINGS AS IS BASED ON MORNING OBSERVATIONS OVER THE BETTER MIXED NEARSHORE WATERS (48 KT AT NEW LONDON LEDGE LIGHT HOUSE AND 44 KT AT ROBINS REEF). BELIEVE THESE ARE GOOD INDICATORS OF MAX GUST POTENTIAL LATER THIS MORNING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
