Not looking good here. This is like a derecho hitting from the lake but lasting for hours instead of minutes.

Zones already 30-40mph for monday night out here in the thumb, Waves on huron are going to be pretty epic. The water level right now is about 2 feet lower than last year, gonna be a good thing. The funneling of wind down saginaw bay could produce some huge impacts near bay city/saginaw. All the makings of a once in a lifetime event, but still so many questions about how big of an impact this far west.

ILN finally showing some interest.

excerpt from AFD:

BUT BACK TO THE BIG WEATHER STORY...AND THIS FORECAST PICKS UP

TUESDAY MORNING WHEN MOST IMPACTS WILL BE FELT. SUB-970MB CYCLONE

WILL ALREADY BE FILLING/SLOWING DOWN AT 12Z TUESDAY AS IT MOVES

ALONG THE MD/PA BORDER...BUT AT 5 SIGMA BELOW CLIMATOLOGY...THE

SURFACE PRESSURES /AND THUS WIND FIELDS/ WILL CERTAINLY BE

EXCEEDINGLY RARE THUS WE MUST BE OPEN TO UNIQUE AND RARE

IMPACTS...AND FOR OUR AREA THIS LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE POTENTIAL FOR

VERY STRONG WINDS AND RARE ACCUMULATING OCTOBER SNOW.

That wind map will be wrong

I think those might be peak sustained winds. If that's the case, it could be pretty close. I could see 20 to 30 mph, with gusts to 50 mph into western Pennsylvania, which would fall below the 30 mph threshold. And this would agree with the official NWS forecast. I do think there will be area along the Great Lakes, however, that will see sustained winds of 30 to 50 mph, with occasional gusts to 65+ mph.

It will be worse than 20-30 gusting to 50 here I can guarantee that.

The potential flash flooding/street flooding threat can't be ignored here either. There are going to be quite a few clogged storm drains from all the leaves that have just come down, with water having no where to go.

NAM simulated radar has rain beginning late tomorrow morning and continuing straight through the entire run which is incredible. We've had over 12 inches of rain since September 1st, so the ground is quite saturated, which will exacerbate the falling tree threat.

There have been numerous events over the past several years to feature wave heights up to around 25ft...not so sure about 30ft+ though.
