The latest run of the HWRF has landfall in SW NJ 15z Friday with a ton of rain in banding for the area. Agree that it’s a fast mover but PWAT’s approach 3” for about a 6 hour period. System will be juiced and winds are decently strong aloft so any stronger convection could help mix down strong gusts. And since system will be driving up the Gulf Stream, it’s possible that it will be deepening as it approaches. Sea surface temps are pretty marginal N of NC, though, so doubt we'll see a strong storm anywhere near us (doesn't mean we can't have very heavy rains though, with the right track - just talking winds/coastal flooding perspective). Also, not sure how "tropical" this system will really be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See that darkest shade of purple in eastern PA? I'm in the northern part of that dark blob, about 2,000 ft in elevation (near Lake Harmony.) Do you really think the impacts here will be worse vs my "regular" home in SW Nassau County? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be ventilated by the trough building into the Ohio Valley. Good timing as a day later and it would have kicked it OTS instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibertyBell Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Looks like it will be 4-5" here in the Poconos vs 1-2" at my regular home on the south shore of Nassau County. Forecasts are for wind gusts up to 50 mph? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi there, neighbor! :-) I guess you too got those storms yesterday? We've gotten heavy rains every other day this week- Monday, Wednesday and now hopefully Friday. I'll be back in Long Island next week and hope to catch a 100 degree day there at the end of the week ;-) This is exciting weather for summer!

Right, this has happened numerous times..... heaviest rainfall is west of the track and highest winds are east of the track. Floyd illustrated this well, but there were numerous other examples of this. Another example is Bertha from July 1996 that came over JFK with 65 mph winds.....Babylon recorded hurricane force gusts at around 75 mph but the heaviest rains were over the Poconos where 7" of rain was recorded.

Once it moves North it will shift to the North and NW of the track. This is true in most cases, Hurricane Gloria and Bob both examples. This is not completely tropical at this point and the precip could be well north of the center and more directly above the center rather than completely west. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
