Yes but to some of the models are showing mixing to near 900mb and if you look at the Euro that could bring down some really strong gusts.

Oh I agree, but even 1000mb is around 300ft up. I supposed some of the taller buildings in Manhattan could see gusts close to that high on the steeples.

Have you looked at any of the guidance? Do you consider gusts to 60MPH well inland to be low impact? 

Yes. All of the weakened trees are gone. The power grid has been upgraded. 30-40 mph winds and gusts to 50, even 60, won't do too much damage. Maybe some scattered power outages, but it won't be anything significant, imho.

Other than the immediate coastline, it looks to be a low impact event. That being said, i may be at some of the area beaches this weekend.

It could go a few ways depending on exact track and strength but even on the Island there could be gusts 50+ as currently modeled.

you trolling?   gusts to 60 won't do much damage?  If you have 40-60 mph gusts with a stalled storm for a day or two, you're going to have issues.

I agree, plenty of time. But gusts to 50+ isn't a huge deal. We get that in typical winter noreasters. Once gusts pass 60 we are talking.

Well then I guess we should all just go home then and lock this thread up.

Didn't say that. Just keeping it in perspective. The area beaches will be devastated and there will be major coastal flooding. For everyone else, its a typical noreaster.

Your joking right?? winds like that over a long period of time will cause problems plus some rain on top of it.

First, no models show 60 mph gusts anywhere but along the immediate coastline. I said the immediate coastline will be hit hard. If a model shows widespread 60 mph gusts, then i agree the event becomes higher impact. Right now I dont think we are looking at the next Sandy, not even close. Just trying to calm some people down a bit.

Nothing to see here per PSV88, keep it moving. Typical Noreaster

Nevermind that it's forecasted to stall right off our coast for almost a week.

How do you think those trees become weakend and the transmission lines becomes compromised?

Yea, some power outages. As i said, if we want a real high impact event, winds need to be gusting to at least 60. My local area lost a ton of trees in Sandy, and the remaining trees are very strong. I just dont see 40 mph winds causing a ton of damage.

But i really do fear for the beaches. The longshore current will obliterate the south shore beaches, which is why i am not really excited about this event either. I love those beaches, and i have no interest in seeing them damaged.

 I am sure you will change your tune if the models come in stronger in the next few runs.... Jersey and south shore are in for a disaster

Actually all of the guidance has those gusts well inland, just not into Long Island. 

And since we don't know exactly where the curve back to the coast is going to be yet, it's way too soon to start telling people to calm down.

I will. Right now the models keep the strongest winds just off the NJ coastline. Also, to get the highest impact, we need this thing to go extra-tropical. The system going tropical again won't be good for those seeking high impact. The winds will contract around the center.

If the models start showing winds gusting to 60 away from the beaches, i will get concerned for inland locations.

To be clear, i am extremely concerned about the beaches.

Granted these are in kilometers, not MPH, but it's still very impressive.

It seems to be moving a bit faster than forecast, how would that affect the track down the line?

expect it to continue to be progged faster than it is now especially if it drops the pure tropical title... the globals have a tendency to keep extratropical coastals too slow.

Verbatim that shows 60/65mph wind gusts along the jersey shore and the barrier islands along the south shore of LI. For most of LI gusts in the 50 range, and the rest of the Metro area much less.

Will be fun heading down to the beach this weekend. Might just hit up the LI Sound beaches, no interest in driving over those bridges to the south shore beaches in 60 mph winds.

Trees are fully leafed out, as opposed to their general condition in a Noreaster. Some of the older maples, white pines, Bradford pears, that line the suburb streets, will act like sails on ship. Hopefully the ground can absorb the bulk of the rain, but if it hits too fast, flash flooding potential exists.

This storm, if as depicted, has disaster written all of over it. Especially on a holiday weekend.

I'm going shopping tonight, before the news really gets out. What hurts in grabbing 5-10 gallons of gas for the generator and a few gallons of Poland Spring. I will probably use them anyway.
