IsentropicLift Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Getting a quick shower at the moment A cell popped up on radar near Plainfield and appears to be moving very slowly. That should be the general theme today with slow moving heavy showers. Some areas getting dumped on and five miles away nada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think the heaviest is probably 2 miles to my South Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoSki14 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 looking generally hot and humid after the 15th Yup right on cue as most years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Well the Euro has a QPF bullseye over NNJ between 18z and 00z. The GFS showed something similar. We'll see if activity spikes soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Well the 12z ECMWF has already backed off the big heat signal for next week. Looks like upper 80's west of the Hudson next Monday before we get backdoored again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsentropicLift Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 No thanks. Seen enough with Irene and Sandy here. We all experienced it, changes nothing. Most of us are here to be weather enthusiasts not humanitarians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoSki14 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 We all experienced it, changes nothing. Most of us are here to be weather enthusiasts not humanitarians. That still doesn't mean we would like to experience anything on that level. I'll take a moderate tropical storm around here and that's it. I do not wish for damage and destruction on that scale no matter how much of a weather weenie I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping for damage, death and destruction is a lot different than hoping for an impactful tropical system. Most people unless they live near a river thought Irene was nothing more than a nuisance event. If you live or lived near the river then odds are it was the worst flooding you've ever experienced. Since I don't live near the ocean Sandy while it knocked out power in my town over a week could have been a lot worse had it also dumped typical tropical rains. It's all relative.

Most of us are here to be weather enthusiasts not humanitarians. sure, but in the past I "rooted" for the storms to come up the coast, take a left hook whatever. No Mas for me! With that said, I would certainly be glued to the tracking of a storm in here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 sure, but in the past I "rooted" for the storms to come up the coast, take a left hook whatever. No Mas for me! That's fair, you're certainly entitled to have that opinion. I won't root for another Sandy Hook type event but if it does happen again I don't think it will quite as bad thanks to better preparation. Irene set off a bit of a cry wolf syndrome.

mob1 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Let's compromise and root for a severe and long lasting Derecho, all of the wind without the surge, everyone wins. Now where can I put in my order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now where can I put in my order? If you can believe it the wind damage that I saw after the mid-atlantic derecheo a few years ago equaled that of Sandy. Not a single power line that was above ground survived and almost all the trees came down where I was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now where can I put in my order? It's something the enthusiast in me would like to experience at least once, but I saw the damage these things caused and I would be a bit worried and excited if I saw one of these things aiming toward my region.

I won't root for another Sandy Hook type event but if it does happen again I don't think it will quite as bad thanks to better preparation. Irene set off a bit of a cry wolf syndrome. Definitely. Since it underperformed and in some areas grossly underperformed, some folks figured Sandy would be the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a single power line that was above ground survived and almost all the trees came down where I was. The wind damage was absolutely nothing like the water damage. Within 10 days it was like two different worlds between the surge areas and the higher elevations that just had tree/power line wind damage. My town had no rail service or power for up to a month and no useable water for nearly two weeks. Our infrastructure system had to be essentially rebuilt and still faces difficulty today with flooding after heavy rain events. The remnants of Andrea last June caused a lot of problems.

forkyfork Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 you can't compare sandy and the derecho because the derecho affected fully leafed out trees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjay Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 you can't compare sandy and the derecho because the derecho affected fully leafed out trees Another big factor in comparing the 2 is the amount of tree loss some areas had from March 2010 and Irene. A lot of the weaker trees were knocked down during those 2...especially on LI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't top March 2010 (in terms of downed trees), but it came quite close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
