Logan11 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Just getting my first measurable here in the form of a wind swept misty sheet drizzle. Beware of bands of heavy showers and maybe a rumble of thunder tonight. Could bring strong winds down..even as LLJ subsides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Well to be fair, Hurricane of 1938 may have been lower over water I think. It landfalled at 946mb in LI...hard to believe it wasn't stronger than that over the gulf stream waters north of Hattaras. But I guess we'll never know.

dan11295 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 will have to see what the pressure does once it gets over cooler waters. might fill a few mb, but the baro forcing should keep it fairly steady i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 comcast just called with a message never had the before I just got it also. Basically said to stay away from downed lines. lol Also said you could sign up for their texts to find out if there are outages in your area. Gee, thanks Comcast.

Logan11 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 When they say north of Hatteras, I guess they don't count extratropical lows that have bombed in eastern Canada, etc. after coming up as Nor'easters. I'm sure we have had some extremely low pressures up around NFLD and Labrador. Well to be fair, Hurricane of 1938 may have been lower over water I think.

Cold Miser Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Congrats to everyone!!!

N. OF PIKE Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Jesus...the Boardwalk down in Atlantic City and that area is just devastated...the pics of the flooding is unreal...and it's not even the worst yet that should not suprise many (shocking to see , yes i know what you mean, and saddening) the one thing that was clear , was the amount of water this thing was moving, when you have a record IKE output, you will make history with coastal flooding damage, it has just begun, and will be the worst damaging part of this storm Delmarva, NJ, and long island will get the brunt of this swell and wave action. and it is definitely historic, at least it sped up and didn't occur for another tide cycle. (the tides not really going out anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Wiggum Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Jesus...the Boardwalk down in Atlantic City and that area is just devastated...the pics of the flooding is unreal...and it's not even the worst yet Most every boardwalk along the NJ coast has been breached and sustained damage at this point. There r some great pics coming out of the area, just amazing destruction. What a disaster this is becoming quickly. I'll find the pics but most were on live local news down here. http://www.americanwx.com/bb/index.php/topic/37481-obs-thread-for-phl-area-sandy-post-trop-phase/page__st__175 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxsniss Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 BOX 10:30am, excerpt: At 10 am Hurricane Sandy was approximately 260 miles south of Block Island with a minimum central pressure of 943 mb! Visible satellite imagery indicates a very symmetric circulation with embedded convection and appearance of an eye around 13z/9am. Very impressive storm to say the least. It is now beginning its westward turn with estimate motion around 330 degrees at 16 knots. Maximum sustain winds are estimated at 80kt wit gusts to 100kt. Landfall expectation remains along the New Jersey coast this evening. Wind field continues to expand north of Sandy as anomalous ridge over Atlantic Canada squeezes the pgrad and generates a second wind maximum over southern and eastern New England. Already seeing strong winds here with mqe- g46kt/mvy- g43kt/g45kt at bid jetty. Winds will continue to increase through the day with the strongest winds occurring between 2 PM - 8 PM. A second pulse of damaging winds are possible across CT/Rhode Island and southeast Massachusetts around 8 PM as warm sector tries to overspread this area which will enhance momentum Transfer as winds shift from NE to southeast and low level inversion erodes. This also coincides with possible tropopause fold as tropopause rapidly descends downward. Impressive pressure rise/fall couplet likely associated with this mechanism. Strongest winds likely across NYC/Long Island and coastal CT...but southern New England will remain on eastward edge of this wind potential this evening.

Wonkis Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Spectacular! Hey guys.... The GOES is in what's called Super Rapid Scan, a one minute satellite scan on IR and visible satellite.

CT Rain Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Recon looks like it's finding an inner wind core based on the dropsonde right on the osuthern eyewall with 50 knot winds. This thing will be tropical at landfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherMA Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I still can't get over the fact that I have no class because of the chance of a few 40kt gusts later. Good luck to everyone down south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerz_nailz Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 For you, maybe 5pm-11pm, worse 7-11 for you I think. What direction will the wind be coming from when it's at it's worst? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
