There's been a lot of talk about the rain, but I haven't heard much about winds from this storm. With the low pressure tracking probably near NYC or NJ, winds inland probably shouldn't be as strong as places further east, but I'd think that with this type of a scenario at least the eastern half of the area would easily reach wind advisory criteria.

Mt. Holly did mention that isolated flooding was still possibie in there HWO.

Because the water levels are so low I would expect a quick rise but it should all run off pretty fast.

Remember, main stem delaware and hudson didn't flood significantly after Irene and the predecessor conditions were quite wet iirc

There has been plenty of discussion in the thread about the winds. I think the low placement is poor for winds around here. a good analog (though of course different) is the April 07 storm were we had our strongest winds on the front and back ends and a period of light winds when the center was close to us. During that storm NNE had the strongest winds with hurricane force gust up in Maine. I think we ill see similar scenario this time.

I've seen some refences to the April 07 storm for this one, obviously this won't be anywhere near the magnitude of that storm but there's still some similarities. New England does seem to be the most favored area for strong winds as well, although I'd think that at least at some point during the storm, not throughout the whole event due to the less than ideal low position, there would be a period of stronger gusts in Long Island/Connecticut, perhaps enough for a wind advisory.

06z nam looks west and better organized along the coast rather than those multiple lows shown on Fridays runs.

Interesting to note that the other models went weaker when they had multiple lows and were stronger when they had 1 organized low. Though the nam is most west now seams all guidance is trying to shift a little stronger and west again.

I do like its presentation of the low better along the coast before it gets up here. Not saying it will be this way, but I was suspect of those multiple low centers it was showing yesterday after its 12z run along the Outer Banks. Be interested to see what some of its later runs do as we get closer.

06z NAM looks out to lunch compared to everything else. Looks like the low goes into NYC and deluges the area and points NE, Good winds for LI.

Sometimes you can get those weird meso lows that spin up, but yeah I know what you mean.

06z GFS looks like it shifted west, now has low over Atlantic City before retrograding west. LI certainly in the stronger wind potential if these further west scenarios hold.

Man it looks like LI could gust to 50 or even a bit better if things work out.
