Wind gusts 46+MPH and spotty damage-power outage 1P-10P Wednesday Oct 7, 2020

[wdrag]

Prior modeling steep lapse rates momentum transfer prompts on the forum, the wind advisory issuance by OKX for LI/se NYS/CT, the marginal risk for SVR by SPC skirting the northern fringe of the forum, all are contributing to this topic.

CAA aloft steepens lapse rates this afternoon as intensifying low pressure crosses northern Maine this evening. Winds at 850 MB will be 40 to possibly 50 knot and so there is a chance to latch onto some of the 40 knot gusts.  Best chance for spotty gusts 46 MPH or greater appears to be se NYS, CT, e LI. Appears to me most of the wind gusts will be 40-45 MPH but gusts 50-60 MPH are possible, especially e LI.  Gust algorithms from the 00z/7 cycle EC, and SPC HREF are generally a bit weaker than the early morning HRRR, tho SPC HREF MAX gusts do offer the potential.  

Evaporating sewd moving showers may add to the transfer.

I may be watching a ball game during the event and hoping anyone who see's 40kt upstream just nw of our area will post. Latest HRRR seems a little lighter but radar is fairly impressive for midday in upper NYS.

Recent wind damage and hail reports, upstream. 348P/7 post

[bluewave]

One of the strongest wind gusts of the year at Albany.

So far all the wind has been upstate. Just breezy here so far and really rather quiet right now. Did get more rain than I expected with .08 of an inch. I was not expecting much at all.

[wdrag]

Will add more as soon as I find more: Here is a map of damage reports and power outages... as SPC outlined. Bad night and morning ahead for I90 as cold air arrives. Might even be a touch of snow in the Adirondacks by dawn?

 

[Brian5671]

completely calm here after a light shower awhile ago, guessing the winds come later for our area as the storm over Maine deepens

[wdrag]

Added max gust reports past hour.... probably since 445P. All up to our north.

From a NWS resource on another forum: 

Rare October significant severe weather outbreak today 7 October.  KALB airport gusted to 59 Kt and widespread tree damage, trees on cars, houses, shingles torn off, power poles down and other widespread damage.  Wind gusts at some other locations 60 Kt or greater.  Lots of lightning and thunder, too.  Very unusual for October.  

 

Cooling aloft, steep midlevel lapse rates, small hail enhanced downdrafts where boundary layer mean winds 50 Kt or greater.  Anyway, CAPEs <1000 j/kg and in many areas <500 j/kg.  Lots of damage and again, unusual for October

we just had tstorms and hail here on the south shore....it really feels like fall!  We get these kinds of storms in early fall when the ocean is warmer than the air temp

 

[LibertyBell]

brilliant sunset now as the storms are ending

[Cfa]

 

Ominous skies ~30 mins ago, looking north towards CT. Dark and windy now.

showers ruined our wind threat in the nyc metro

[wdrag]

Good evening. It's 8 PM. Adding some more information.  Most of our area has escaped wind advisory criteria it appears, but SVR did affect our CT portion of the forum and a small portion of the NYC forum in se NYS.  SVR reports to the NWS are graphed, and added the power outages as of 8PM and finally the max gusts, past 3 hrsvfor the various thresholds.  Hope this is useful.  Good call on the potential nay others on the forum yesterday.  

 

[lee59]

It certainly looks like upstate areas had quite a day with storms and wind. Not much in my area, some light rain and only breezy conditions.

[wdrag]

As of ~6AM Thursday October 8...remaining power outages, and a listing by  OKX of wind gust reports yesterday. A chilly morning for those without power, to our north.  Main impact was along the north-east edge of our forum area.

Winds weren't very strong here in Lindenhurst last night, highest gust was 34 mph
