vespasian70 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 How bad are the winds with the NAM? Despite most of the leaves gone off the trees here I'm a bit worried and don't want to go through another extended power outage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 12z NAM text extract has 70kt winds at 900 for CLE, 82kt at 850. Even this far west at LAF, 55kt at 900, 58kt at 850. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 We had a severe thunderstorm roll in from the lake here 2 years ago with 70 mph winds lasting a minute or two. That storm was devastating as many homes were severely damaged from trees falling. If we have several hours of 50 mph winds with the occasional gust to 70 mph, it will be devastating. I work in a skyscraper right along lake Erie so it will also be interesting to watch the wave action and hear the structure rattle. I'm also curious if I-90 will have waves crashing over it. Parts of I-90 in Cleveland are right at the lake maybe 4 or 5 feet above lake level. I'm fully expecting to be without power for some time.

Speaking of the waves, CLE's current forecast has 17 foot waves right into the west side of Cleveland Tuesday morning: It wouldn't surprise me if CLE ends up putting out some kind of a coastal flood headline. The NAM/GFS both support gusts over 70MPH over the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 A far less devestating run. Good to see. None of the foreign models were nearly as intense as NCEP, which gives some hope it won't be that bad. NCEP was just devestating. Remember it's not just the wind, but the persistent rains as well. All that water will be funneled into those valley's in the Appalachians! Last summer we had 3 storms with winds between 60-90mph. It only took a couple minutes to bring down whole trees on houses are wipe out the power for blocks! Some areas in town were without power for a week! - and that was only one storm less than 10 miles wide! The ground wasn't even saturated at the time - unlike it will be out East.

SpartyOn Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I'll take the NAM.... if only Of course you would say that. While those two points you bring up are obviously exaggerated, it's still a dangerous system for the entire east coast. The 1st sentence pissed me off for obvious past posts u have made to me an other posters. But in all honesty the mainstream media is chewing this up like mad. U almost hope it doesn't disappoint. I'll move on from this...back to the storm mechanics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Pressure is substantially lower than what models were indicating...of course that is not a total surprise but makes you wonder if some of those insane low pressure forecasts may end up panning out.

Hoosier Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Did you see my earlier post? What type of track implications do think this will have? Great question...I have read various mets' thoughts and the general take is that it could cause Sandy to resist phasing a bit longer, which would suggest a track farther north. But who really knows for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But who really knows for sure. Thanks for the reply. As buckeye mentioned earlier, a deeper system may be more inclined to hook left, along with the fact that there is a strong block. But I also understand the argument of a longer time to phase. Eh, I guess we just watch and wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 12z Euro was a bit north. One of the benchmarks to watch is how close this gets to 70W before turning NW. If it doesn't make it, then the farther south solutions (say S NJ southward) start to become more likely. If it does get to 70W, the farther north solutions may be the way to go.

Geos Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I think Sandy will be particularly nasty with its storm surge if the center is a bit south of Delaware Bay. That bay is open to the E/ESE- exactly where the winds would be coming from with a Delmarva LF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWeatherPimp Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 12z NAM increasing the potential for snows across Eastern Indiana and Ohio. 12z RPM similar to the NAM. The models are definitely initializing Sandy's pressure to high. We are definitely in uncharted waters here with a system like this as far as forecasting pressure. I feel there is a pretty good chance that we will see some of the crazy low pressures at landfall verify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entropy Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Flood and high wind watches posted for northeast Ohio. NWS says 4 to 6 inches of rain, and winds of 35 to 45 mph with gusts to 65 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
on_wx Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for Ontario bordering northern Lower MI and the north shores of Lake Huron/Georgian Bay areas for a possible 4-6"+ of snow. A LARGE AND POWERFUL FALL STORM THAT IS EXPECTED TO AFFECTSOUTHERN ONTARIO IS ALSO THREATENING TO SPREAD SNOW INTO PARTS OF NORTHEASTERN ONTARIO FOR MONDAY. SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL AMOUNTS OF 10 TO 15 CM OR MORE ARE QUITE POSSIBLE ON MONDAY. IN ADDITION STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS MAY ALSO RESULT IN VERY LOW VISIBILITY IN BLOWING SNOW IN AREAS WHERE THE TEMPERATURE REMAINS AT OR BELOW FREEZING. SNOWFALL AMOUNTS WILL DEPEND ON THE EXACT TRACK AND INTENSITY OF THE STORM ITSELF AS IT MOVES CLOSER TO THE REGIONS ON MONDAY. THEY WILL ALSO DEPEND ON THE TEMPERATURE, AS AREAS WHERE THE TEMPERATURE STAYS JUST ABOVE FREEZING MAY RECEIVE SOME OF THE PRECIPITATION IN THE FORM OF RAIN OR A RAIN-WET SNOW MIX.

Hoosier Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 NCEP disco ...HURRICANE SANDY... BASED ON THE NAM/ECMWF BNDRY LAYER WIND ANALYSES... THE MODELS HAVE INITIALIZED SANDY ABOUT 20 NM E OF THE OBSERVED 12Z POSN OF 28.8N 76.8W. THEIR CNTRL PRESSURES ARE ABOUT 10 MB HIGHER THAN OBSERVED. THE GFS BNDRY LAYER WIND ANALYSIS COMPARES BETTER TO OBSERVED POSN... THOUGH THE GFS CNTRL PRES IS 10-15 MB HIGHER THAN OBSERVED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 need to see some video of that...holy sh+t I'll be heading down to the lakefront to check it out if they do indeed get that big! On 10.19.11 the waves on Lake Michigan were definitely better than 10 feet! I thought that was a nasty wind... They need to get these models initialized in the right place! 20 NM can mean a big difference to communities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Not looking good here. This is like a derecho hitting from the lake but lasting for hours instead of minutes. FXUS61 KCLE 272002 AFDCLE AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH 402 PM EDT SAT OCT 27 2012 .SYNOPSIS... A FRONTAL BOUNDARY JUST EAST OF THE REGION WILL REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY AND BE ABSORBED AS HURRICANE SANDY BECOMES EXTRA TROPICAL AND DEVELOPS INTO AN INTENSE STORM AS IT MOVES INTO PENNSYLVANIA ON TUESDAY. THE STORM WILL GRADUALLY WEAKEN ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY AS IT DRIFTS NORTH TOWARD LAKE ONTARIO ON THURSDAY. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/... RAIN HAS DIMINISHED OVER ALL BUT THE EASTERN COUNTIES AND THIS TREND WILL CONTINUE UNTIL AFTER MIDNIGHT. CLEAR OR NORTHWEST OHIO WILL LIKELY MAKE LITTLE PROGRESS FARTHER EAST. RAIN WILL LIKELY BEGIN SPREADING WEST TOWARD MORNING. HAVE USED MAV TEMPERATURES WITH SLIGHT CHANCGES. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... THE INTENSE REMAINS OF SANDY WILL MOVE INLAND TO PENNSYLVANIA ON TUESDAY AND SPREAD HEAVY RAIN AND HIGH WINDS ACROSS THE AREA ESPECIALLY FROM CLE TO ERI. WITH THE LAKE NEAR 12-14 C EXPECT A WELL MIXED LAYER TO EXTEND TO THE LAKE SURFACE AND ALLOW VERY STRONG WINDS OF 40-50 KNOTS TO REACH THE SURFACE WITH HIGHER GUSTS LATE MONDAY AFTERNOON AND INTO TUESDAY.
