Tropical connection NYC forum area Sun-Wed, 8/2-5/20- Tropical Storm Isaias

0z 3km NAM looks a little stronger with the winds tomorrow afternoon/evening. Worst of it for the Jersey Shore starts around noon, and then for NYC/LI the worst is from 3-7pm. There's an area of what looks to be 50+kt sustained wind at 10m right along the Jersey Shore and then into the south shore of LI. Gusts in that would likely be near hurricane force. Thankfully the strong winds would only really go on for less than 6 hours and the storm's trucking north. Appears that a feeder band pivots through as the strong winds really get going. Narrow area of 3"+ rain mostly in E PA and W NJ, then into the Catskills.

I'm hoping this storm does not track west of the city...if it does we could see some strong winds from the south south east and less rainfall...I'd rather see more rain and less wind...not looking forward to power outages from this...Hazel in 1954 was a much bigger hurricane but tracked well west of the city...winds were clocked at 113mph on the roof of 17 Battery place in lower Manhattan...

I was in Hudson County during Hazel.  Great winds, but very little rain.  You pointed out elsewhere: it was the third storm to hit the area in 1954.

I think it's looking pretty likely that storm will pass west of NYC. Nam/GFS has it in western NJ. 

This will put eastern NJ, NYC, LI in the middle of the strongest gusts with a high likelihood of a few spinups. 

Storm will be moving through at nearly 30mph which will only increase the wind force on the eastern side. I think some 80mph gusts seem probable.

Nearly all of the MESO models show an intense band of roughly 60 MPH sustained winds making its way up the barrier islands of NJ. It's hard to believe but almost every model has it. Gusts would be even higher. I know it's crazy but these winds would probably warrant a hurricane warning for these areas; I doubt the warnings will be hoisted but it will be interesting to see how bad it gets.

Probably not a great day for friends, family, and neighbors around here tomorrow.  Bad trends.

I can’t see anyone seeing sustained 60. I’ll believe it when I see it. I think you’ll see 50 sustained. I personally think the wind is overhyped. High winds will be very very isolated

SPC Day 1

...Delmarva/Chesapeake Bay region to New England...
   As Isaias shifts northeastward across the Mid-Atlantic Region into
   New England, an accompanying/very moist low-level environment will
   permit maintenance of modest CAPE along and east of the track of the
   storm.  With a very strong wind field -- veering strongly with
   height -- also spreading northward in tandem with Isaias, a
   favorable environment for rotating cells -- and a few tornadoes --
   is apparent.  Overnight, as the storm eventually approaches the St.
   Lawrence Valley, limited tornado risk may spread as far north as
   Maine.
