ChrisM Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 The more sheltered spot in the interior are going to have the most trouble mixing the winds down because there is a bit of a CAD signal in the interior right now. I don't know how exposed your neighborhood is, but is its not that exposed, then you might not gust more than about 50mph. Though it is beginning to pick up a bit...BDL and BAF both gusted around 45 knots latest obs. I'm about 150' below the top of a 1150' hill. I personally face NW, but I'm pretty damn close to the top of the hill. Thanks for the response by the way, I hope I at least see one rogue 60 mph gust it doesn't help that physically I am closer to the llj? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mips Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 As of 2PM Sandy was still 110 miles offshore. Whoa! I'm glad I left work when I did. With proximity and the higher winds, the car could easily have been blown into a guardrail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 The interior was always going to need more help mixing out save the hilltops. We've stated that. That's a KFS bias in 10m winds, but hopefully people listen to the mets. Wait until after 6-7pm in CT. You'll get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Torchey Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I'm in between the two of you...a couple miles inland...but similar story. Probably had a couple gusts that have pushed 50 mph, but other than that pretty tame so far. I thought the latest rain band that moved in over us may have brought some higher gusts...but not yet. We're pretty much getting to the peak of the storm at this point, so we'll see. Glad its just not me, seems outside extreme se coast of ct its been gusts 50-55...........while other areas east much stronger, originally a lot of forecasts had stronges winds in sw ct, so whats the issue an inversion? Whats the highest gust at BDR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 The 18z NAM showed it absolutely ripping around that time. It increases the LLJ by about 10 knots and the winds are turning more easterly all the time which helps erode any inversions. Not to mention that dry slot is about to rip around and come into southern New England from the southeast. Showers already getting more convective look to them.

Showers already getting more convective look to them. Yeah I think that will be the chance for the Cape to gust over 80 and perhaps for BOS to make a run at 70-75...any of those exposed spots that can get into one of those cellular showers. Its a bummer we don't have KBID up for obs right now. I wish the CQX obs were still taken at CHH too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Little lull here. Wind seems to have changed direction a bit too. Quite a bit of roof and tree damage.

Bryan Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Power back on in Salem, Ma as my parents in Kingston, MA just recently lost power, put together an album of my trip to Castle Rock in Marblehead and other places around the area, unfortunately some of them aren't transferring from my phone so need to figure that out before power goes out again most likely. http://imgur.com/a/WwQi0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Dude..if I add 10-15 more...it's gonna be phenomenal..This is unreal right now..Power been on and off You may in gusts. So far it's been about what I thought here. I capped winds at 55kts, but left the chance of a higher gust. Surprised the Cape isn't a little stronger based on ASOS/AWOS reports, but it may be partly from an inversion. GON 65kts so that shows you the winds we can get. We'll see what the next few hours do. 54 kts at FMH. so the Cape show may begin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Good snowfall accums in the grids in the central Appalachians... can you imagine the 50-60mph winds SNE is getting along with 2-3 feet of snow? Tonight Snow with areas of blowing snow. Low around 30. Very windy, with a west wind around 40 mph, with gusts as high as 65 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 10 to 14 inches possible. Tuesday Snow with areas of blowing snow. High near 31. Windy, with a west wind 29 to 39 mph, with gusts as high as 60 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 9 to 13 inches possible. Tuesday Night Snow with areas of blowing snow. Low around 28.

We'll see what the next few hours do. 54 kts at FMH. so the Cape show may begin. 53 knots at HYA. The Cape ASOS stations aren't in very good spots for winds down there. The old CHH spot was great but the newer CQX that replaced it when ASOS went up is a little more sheltered. Still I'd be surprised if one of them failed to gust over 60 knots.

Yeah HYA is not the best and CQX isn't even representative it seems. Still, I would think those crappy sitings can throw up 55kts. Seems like the LLJ is rolling in now so we may see that in the next few hours. FMH is a pretty good weenie spot. I think ORH may put up some good numbers over the next few hours.
