Hurricane Hermine


Typhoon Tip

Hermine turns out won't be as intense as earlier thought, the idea of the warm gulf stream and lower wind shear stirred the appetite for a stronger hurricane eventually, but it hasn't taken advantage of the warm water due to the higher wind shear.

James, the warm water is a myth.  As a general rule, strengthening of tropical systems is dampened with sst under 26C.   You'd have to go way south of our latitude to achieve event he minimal threshold.  The water is warm for our standards but not good enough for hurricane strength.

Overcast here and windy.  

First rain shower of Hermain just rotating through.   Street and yard getting filled with leaves and small dead twigs.  Latest gust was 37. 

Surf along Misquamicut and Weekapaug beaches coming in groups of 5 to 8 swells every 2 to 3 minutes.  Wave heights about 6 to 10 feet.  

Lots of surfers and onlookers.

Peak gusts along the southern coastline and bays of MA and RI have been between 30-40mph so far. Gusts decrease to 15-25mph across much of SE MA and central RI. Highest sustained winds are currently over Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard (25-35mph sustained with gusts close to 50mph). Power outages begin to occur when winds reach roughly 45mph.

Storm is much further northwest than originally thought, reason for the NHC to shift the track much further northwest of the benchmark.  Gusts to 60-70mph on the Cape are looking more and more possible.

Are you saying they need to adjust their current track further NW?
