ORH_wxman Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Yeah 75k-80kts at 950....would think 80-90 is certainly possible for Cape. And considering that 950mb is less than 1,000 feet off the ground for a period this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 And considering that 950mb is less than 1,000 feet off the ground for a period this afternoon. Might be something else atop MQE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Miser Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 NYC in serious trouble. Not according to weather expert Bloomberg the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Might be something else atop MQE. I was wondering if MQE could pull off a 100mph gust...not sure they will quite make it. But they are a lock for 80+. It gets to 90 knots at 900mb...but 75 knots at 925mb...so not sure if they can pull it off. They'd probably need some help from convection.

It looks like the best chance for any convection will occur right in the zone of strongest LLJ winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRRTA22 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Sandy has a pressure equivalent to a cat 4. wouldn't that mean storm surge would be around cat 3/4 equivalent also? or no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baroclinic Zone Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Quick question, when I look at the model extraction, are the 10m winds sustained or peak gusts? 06z NAM has 39kts for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 The Euro did a great job with this. After having some bad moments this summer, it really led the way with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I fee. like a bit of an outsider here being in the area of SNE least likely to have any significant impact. So, I can speak from the bleachers and just say "wow" this is really incredible. First--all good wishes to those who will undoubtedly sustain damage of some sort. Secondly, for those of you who are able to experience "damage-free", what a rare event you will be able to say you witnessed. Good luck, all.

May be able to eek out a hurricane gust. Yeah Irene was pathetic compared to this. Just looking at the soundings and cross sections, its really no comparison. Irene had like 65-70 knots at 925mb over the Cape...this time around its like 85 knots and over the interior its far more impressive than Irene was. Looking back at past systems, the closest sounding I found to this in the past 20 years was Dec 23-24, 1994. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
