Well I think the Euro has the right idea but is prob 5-10 mph too high .

I’m donning Margusity’s Big Daddy hat

Those weenie gust maps are banana-land. 75-80 mph gusts on SE winds in CT would be pretty extraordinary. 

My guess is a good chunk of the SE BOX CWA up to Cape Ann gets a HWW later today, and interior gets an advisory.

I don't know about what others think, but a wind advisory isn't anything to write home about..pretty mundane imo.  So if this goes there...then this won't be anything to impressive for list inland peeps.  

But we will see how it all plays out...it'll have a few surprises for sure.. good or bad, all the decent storms do.  

Thanks for the insight.  

Well we have probably watered down wind advisories too. Gusts 46-57 and you'll take notice, but they are often issued for gusts 35-40 mph too. That certainly takes the shine off that headline.

I’ve seen many sou’easters over the years give us gusts 65-70mph. Particularly we had several of them back in the early and mid 90’s. This just seems like an extraordinary situation and I’d bet all the BOX area goes HWW.. particularly with saturated ground and many trees still with leaves .

Yes, gusts 46-57 and that will certainly get ones attention!

but the 35-40 is run of the mill, and not impressive at all.  When I think of wind advisory..I think of the 35-40mph idea.

I'm anticipating winds akin to big winter CAA situations in GC, and we have the stick-season appeal to boot.

 

Meanwhile, this is the first time I've seen flakes in the forecast for the Tug.

It's telling you have to go back 20 years to dig up a SE gale like that. And I would like some Tree House when BOX doesn't go HWW everywhere.

That's the problem with us issuing so many sub-advisory advisories. Technically the product is for 46-57 mph gusts, or sustained 31-39 mph.

Notice I said early mid 90’s. Before your time. We had them and they performed and were nothing like this extreme situation .

It will depend who is on the desk at BOX. If it’s who was on yesterday we’ll be lucky to have advisories issued. If it’s others that have been around and have a clue.. it’ll be HWW

Is this just anecdotal? I'm not sure we've had a bunch of 50-60 knot S/SE winds in the early 90s.
