RI Rob Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 now that I moved to Boston, I wonder how it's going to differ from back home. Quick question, my street is known for being a "wind tunnel" of sorts even during times where wind is low. What should I be expecting in terms of gusts during the storm?

Wx4cast Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Nice..Hope you can record some of the gusts to 80 or 90mph on that .. I am gonna move my davis inside tomorrow night..It'll be blown away if I leave it out there. After you bring it in go back outside and maybe you'll get blown away! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Powderfreak...you probably aren't going to see 65+ knot gusts in the interior around here most likely. You only see that type of winds about once every 50 years or so. 50-55 knots is very hard to get in itself. The hilltops will have a chance, but most ASOS stations in the interior are not on exposed hills or ridges...except ORH if the wind is gusting from the east or southeast. I'm sure a coastal ASOS station will get some gusts breaking 65 knots. Most people have no idea how strong a 65 knot wind is. Most people probably have never been in winds of 65 knots.

HIPPYVALLEY Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 This could be the only time I'll ever be thankful to be living in the part of the state that will see the least impact from a Nor'Easter. The NW corner of MA (Franklin & N Berkshire Co's) will get some wind damage but nothing like the rest of SNE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWS has winds in the upper 40s up here at Plymouth (41kts) and mid 50s down in ORH (48-49kts). Seems reasonable, although I wouldn't be surprised with a little higher in either location.

I've experienced 120+ knots in Andrew, words can't really give it justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably say gusts to 60 around here right now...some of the exposed hilltops/ridges may hit 70. The Cape is a different story. They might get 60mph sustained for a bit if some of these soundings verify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Just want to remind folks near the epicenter of Sandy that widespread power outages will result in cell phone service going down. The generators at the towers usually have about 12 - 24 hours of gas. After Oct. snow storm last year we lost cell service about 12 hours in.
