ncforecaster89 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Meant to post this earlier. I chose not to chase this system as I just got back from my 3 year wedding anniversary, and my wife was not cool with me immediately taking off again. That aside, wanted to share that earlier, even here in Wilmington, NC...there were jet engine gusts roaring well above the trees as this system was rapidly deepening and consolidating off the coast. A significant harbinger of what's to come up into your region. Safe to say, wish I was there, myelf! Good luck to you, all!! Edit: Should add, as most already know, it will be all about how much of the intense winds of the LLJ can mix down to ground level, as there's no doubt they are ripping at the 850-900 mb level.

This is why the point regarding ob station reports is such a good one. Would like to see spots like GON and FMH hit at least 70mph or even more if there's a chance of this panning out like those EURO runs where it's got places like BDL at tropical storm force winds.

This is why the point regarding ob station reports is such a good one. Yeah...I pretty much only look at actual station obs. It's not because I think people intentionally deceive...it's because it is very easy to overestimate winds. I still do it and I've been out chasing wind events many times in the past with a hand held anemometer. It's really easy to be sure a 44mph gust was at least 60. Can't tell you how many times I was sure we were getting gusts to 70 on the cape and I look at the handheld and it says 56. On top of that, something like 45mph will in fact do pretty decent damage to trees with foliage still on them. Throw in a saturated ground and you could be looking at "equivalent" 50-55 knot damage. The damage is def a big threat...but in terms of the nerdiness of verifying the actual numbers...station obs over human estimation every single time.

Oh I think it's s no brainer on the Cape. A lot less land friction and better mixing over the waters...those guys and the beaches have no issues getting into the low level jets.

ORH_wxman Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Def starting to see some better obs on the south coast. But this is how it should go...it ramps up very quickly after looking pretty lackluster the first few hours of the evening. I do think the coast is going to do really well...the bigger question to me is how widespread this becomes from E CT northeast through E MA off the coast in the interior.

No just got a power alarm, came back on but a transformer exploded near Foxwoods.

Teltale for me here is, House i live in was built in the 40's, If we get winds of 40 mph plus the house creaks, That's when i go check the anemometer to see how high it went.
