Yea, has that sound. I think we peak around 3 pm, lets see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kat5hurricane Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 1 hour ago, Allsnow said: Looks like the worst of the wind is staying to the southeast of the metro and hugging the coast. Wind has not been very impressive here. What? There's been winds close to 70 up in Westchester and here in Northern Queens, we were consistently gusting up to 50+ in late morning and are back to very strong gusts the last 30 minutes or so. It's not just confined to the southeast part of the region. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Wind Sustained wind speeds of 40 mph or greater lasting for 1 hour or longer, or winds of 58 mph or greater for any duration. So we meet it despite what others say.

lee59 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 If you don't have an anemometer you really can't guess what the wind gusts are. I just got back from Jones Beach with a handheld kestrel and the wind was a consisent 25 to 35mph. That was about 7 feet above the ground. Meanwhile back at my house the peak gust is now 41mph and sustained 20mph. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cleetussnow Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Crews out around here to work on the downed lines, but Con Ed says this wont be fixed until sometime overnight. Hooked up the generator to keep the fridge and freezer cold. That thing is stocked for the next 3 weeks to stay isolated so the food can’t go bad! winds ripping still. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nycsnow Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 8 PM THIS EVENING/... High impact storm continues with strong S winds, heavy rainfall, possible severe tstms late from NYC west. Expanded high wind warning to entire CWA with reports of 60+ mph winds in the Hudson Valley earlier. Summary LSR just issued detailing wind and damage reports area-wide. Precip has become more showery in nature compared to earlier, with a warm front just to the south and west where temps/dewpoints are now in the 60s. Radars show LLJ core approaching, with winds 85-90 kt at FL020 over the ocean just S of Long Island, with buoy 44025 30 nm south of Islip having just gusted to 76 mph. So....strongest winds for NYC, Long Island, S CT should arrive next 2-3 hours, with peak gusts 60-80 mph expected as the LLJ continues to strengthen, to as high as 100 kt at 900 mb across Long Island mid to late afternoon. Bands of tstms in the warm sector to the west (where a tornado watch is in effect) could reach areas from NYC metro west after 4 PM. SPC has expanded slight risk area to NYC doorstep. Given MLCAPE 500-1000 J/kg and strong, veering low level wind profiles, embedded supercells in these bands could produce damaging winds and possibly a tornado. Expect max temperatures in the upper 50s to near 60s across Long Island and southern CT, and well into the 60s across NE NJ and the lower Hudson Valley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
