do you lie in wait to correct people?  just enjoy the storm; or non-storm, depending on your perspective.  a 70 mph cyclone is still very impressive, especially when you consider the number of 35-50 mph style nor'easters we eagerly track in the fall.

Are you kidding me?  That would be a full time job around here.  I rarely correct minor errors like that one (my apologies to PSV as I probably I came off snarky), but I will always take the time to correct the Tropical Trolls around here, who cry wolf continuously, based on the most obscure model and their own wishcasting.  I think they may be even worse than the winter weather weenies.  I value accuracy and well-reasoned, critical thinking, which unfortunately are often in short supply around here.  Never said a 70 mph storm wasn't impressive - it is - it's just not going to have any major impacts on land.

The best shot for a significant impact on land is obviously the Eastern end of Long Island and the Cape. She is finally making that turn and is heading back towards land. At the same time, she still has a shot at strengthening as she remains over the gulf current which is feeding warm water despite the up welling. Also, the h5 is becoming more conducive for Hermine to strengthen. Combine this with a core that's rather structurally in tact and this hybrid has a good shot at strengthening, albeit not much.

All that being said, Long island and the cape need to keep a close eye on this storm, especially if it begins accelerating towards the NW/WNW. The quicker she begins to move, the less of a chance she will have to deteriate.

No worries, thanks for catching that mistake.

Winds fresh out here, gusting to around 30 at the local Suffolk County airports, FRG and ISP. Similar to a normal autumn day with CAA and a cool gusty breeze.

Sent the wife and kid to Adventureland so i could get some work done in peace and quiet.

NAM is west again.  

Hopefully they aren't short-staffed today, seeing what's going on.    No need to wait any longer.

Wait any longer for what exactly? To repost tropical storm watches and warnings? It's not gonna happen. Give it up. You've been all over the place with this storm. It's over! (Away from the immediate shore of Suffolk and extreme south eastern New England)

Read my history, before posting nonsense. There is only 1 scenario mentioned.

at-least wind advisory criteria is what i'm talking about.   The quick weakening of Hermine will not happen, it already doesn't have a handle on whats currently going on...winds are exceeding the model forecasts by at-least 20 knots in most places.

Think you're being too certain on this being over (and I'm no drama artist or wishcaster). Don't think anyone is forecasting an epic event. But I also think this is far from a non event. It's quite rare to have a low of tropical origin sitting right in our backyard as almost all modeling now suggests will happen. I can't imagine with placement that close, that there won't be some tropical like squalls with heavy downpours and winds, dying system or not, and the long duration adds another element to it. Interesting stuff to follow because it's so rare in these parts.

It's Labor Day, so who knows who's working.

Maybe gotta wait till the morning for the fix.

cheezburger time. 

This is the type of post i will delete. You made a claim that the models are under modeling the current winds by more than 20 knots. When questioned about the truth of that statement (seeing as how you provided zero data to go with that statement), you accuse the nhc of not having enough members working to somehow fix the models that are in your eyes way off.

 

Try this. Show your data. End of debate.

Bx, i'm constantly looking at ship reports , buoy reports.  It's been ALL day long, the evidence is overwhelming.  'Perfect Storm' type surprises are already occurring in new england , and this is going to be the same type of storm where everybodys going to be like "omg...that wasn't expected".  that's all i'm saying.  I never just say stuff to say it.   I posted screenshots of some ship / buoy reports earlier, if u need more I can post more.

And I didn't specify anybody when bringing up Labor Day.  Everybody's probably got a skeleton crew today.  I'm just saying,  it's possible we'll have to wait till the morning to get things right.  If i'm wrong, i'll admit it.

Post the ship reports along with the modeled 2m wind speeds for the same time.

How can that be... Hermine intensity is only max 70 sustained... Could those gusts?

Even if it does weaken some, the damage is already done...as the winds / waves have been building up for days....and are spread out for hundreds of miles.  Just like with the Perfect Storm.   Those waves just won't slip away into the sunset.  Surges could be much higher than expected.   Do we even have recon heading in today ?

Just below official 3.5 foot minor coastal flooding levels on the high tide earlier along the Great South Bay. I did see the water back up through

the storm drains and create small puddles along the sides of some of the low lying streets at high tide.

at-least okx mentions the uncertainty.

There continues to be a great deal of uncertainty with Hermine. What the models do agree on is that Hermine will retrograde to the northwest and then west, taking it well south of Long Island by 06Z Wednesday.

Looks like everybody's gonna wait till tomorrow morning.    It's ridiculous for anybody to think Hermine is going to weaken as quickly as the models are suggesting. Current obs show a much stronger system as is.

Moving WNW @ 7MPH now... Track adjusted a bit further West in 5pm update with Hermine crossing over Nantucket midweek.

5PM TS force wind map shows TS conditions are currently occurring through the majority of Suffolk county. 

Also prob of TS force winds in NYC has been upped again about 50% now... 

This isn't consistent with current OBS. Highest gust i can find is ISP at 33, below TS force winds. Winds here are about the same, but the sun is shining. I doubt any reporting station on the island sees a gust over 45.
