Heisy Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Winds starting to crank here in NE Philly, don't have any measuring tools but the few trees we do have are swaying pretty hard. I live near Pennypack Park, wonder how many down trees/branches there will be tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Of interest is what I woke up to this morning....nothing. That will change, but I figured that there would be more effects that what there was. In no way did I think we'd have tropical storm conditions this early, but I guess I was under the assumption that winds in the area would have already been in the 10-20mph, but they were and are rather calm. It has just now started to rain lightly, but since the showers we had yesterday evening (0.09"), no rain had fallen. I want to add that this is not a "bust" post, or that I think it will bust, just my early morning observation from the coal region. Currently in my backyard: Temp: 51 DP: 51 Wind: wnw @3 mph with a gust of 7 mph Pressure: 1001 mb or 29.55" Rainfall: 0.00" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiburon Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Hybrid nature shown well on regional radar. Hurricane bands rotating into large rain shield on W side... Yeah, and that's creating deformation bands from hell. Look at the radar now, oriented S-->N, at the brighter areas where there is enhancement once the bands rotate across the Chesapeake...Any pros want to chime in to discuss why that's happening?

They say the winds are 90% of the flight level winds which are 108mph, does this support 90mph sustained? Depends on the flight level and how efficiently they are being transferred to the surface.
