weatherwiz Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Forgetting the comparisons to Sandy/Irene this has been quite impressive. gotta put it into perspective. 1) an 80-100+ knot ULJ streak in early August is pretty damn impressive. Not going to see that all too often. With us in the entrance region of the jet that was going to help the storm maintain intensity. 2) Gusts 50-60 mph may not seem that impressive...but again...taking into perspective...this is August, not January. We see what 50-60 mph gusts do during t'storms. Trees are fully leaved. Over 300K w/o power in CT and continuing to climb 3) Not sure if we will get any confirmed tornadoes but the parameters we had in place for a tropical system...you don't see that often. 4) Getting breaks of sun too...during peak heating and with a LLJ cranking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 30 minutes or so that it lasted was exciting. Calmed down currently. If that’s pretty much the end(?), then it was a very brief window of some excitement.

Warwick WX Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 We had about 5 minutes of REAL fun in the line as it started to pull together. Now I'm seeing peeks of sunshine and just a stiff breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butterfish55 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Surprised there's not more reports from this band to the SW Wind is crazy here right now just ahead of that line. Lost power about 20 minutes ago which is very unusual for my neighborhood. Got the generator going but it doesn't power the central AC. I doubt they're sending crews out anytime soon to pull branches off power lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of the additional .75” of rain that we didn’t need, it’s been pretty much a nonevent in Greenfield. Getting a little bit gusty right now though. Patches of blue sky breaking out.
