Tropical Storm Henri

Man.. this is going to be wild in CT

I'm pretty convinced a lot of the mehing is because significant impacts might be mainly limited to CT/RI. Maybe it's the 3 IPAs talking, but I'm not meh on this for myself. It's going to be a direct hit of a mid/high tropical storm where we should be getting torrential rain followed by a hook left and the llc going over our head. Sounds like power outages to me

With the caveat that recon would be an even better indicator, the eye of Henri looks pretty good as it begins to cross into the Gulf Stream. It looks circular with convection (albeit weak) wrapping around it. You can also see fast low level motion that may be indicative of a tighter and stronger wind field. 

Of course, we don't know if winds are mixing down or if the pressure is dropping, but it looks good. If crossing the GS can pop some hot towers and evacuate some of the residual dry air, it could quickly improve in presentation and organization in the few hours before reaching cooler waters.

Are you channeling James?

That’s probably worse for CT if that GFS played out.  I’ll take the 50 mph gusts over drowning rains. 

Well, at least the lights would stay on so we can see how much rain Kevin gets.

Really appears to me that the sensitivity in the models in the west vs east is almost entirely been connected to the storm's intensity -

Sronger has majority west solutions, vs weaker east. 

I 'think'/suspect that is related to the total vertical integration; more so is more entangle with the cutting trough ..less allows it to partially escape capture and ends up farther up the coast. 

Fascinating -

If this does "quasi" RI for a stint and makes it into the init of the evening runs, might be interesting to see that east trend stops at that point and this stabilizes - or if it even goes back west a tick or two.

Wagons east paging Kev

5pm track just in: Henri still a cat 1 hurricane 75mph top wind. Latest track a bit EAST of previous run.

All of coastal RI & Block Island on the dangerous eastern side. Surge & wind big concerns for us.

 

Look out RI

Hey Ginx... with the trajectory Henri is forecast to take towards the SNE coast and the astronomical high tides, do you think Misquamicut could see structural damage from surge similar to Sandy?

Yes structural damage, surge from Sandy was 5 feet but Sandy had 50 ft seas.  5 ft surge and 20 feet this time.  Totally dependent on high tide and surge arrival also wind. I know Misquamicut had 90 mph gusts in Sandy being fully exposed. Probably 75 this time. Sandy surge arrived at high tide during as we thought a full moon.

God rest his soul.

No I'm not. Just pointing to the possibility that there's enough of an inner core to organize at a faster clip. I don't think that's too far out there as virtually all the guidance has some deepening over the next few hours. I'm not calling for a 2 or 3 lol.

Simple and to the point.

Anyone who references the gulf stream gets a James recognition.

What do people think of surge on Fire Island?  Would you be concerned if you were there?

I’m not sure what other areas are thinking or expecting.  But I will put my thoughts out for our specific area and I’ll include you and me. 50-60 mph gusts everywhere east of the river. As high as 65 in squalls and SE of you has potential to gust as high as 70-75mph

I don't expect this to happen again but damn right now its probably max surge zone. The way the coastline is like a bowl it concentrates the energy from Watch Hill To Weekapaug and Misquamicut is dead center of the bowl and of course the lowest point. Barrier islands being barrier islands and all

While the trend east should help mitigate some power outages & wind damage, it supports significant rainfall totals for CT. It's impossible to say where the heaviest axis sets up, so don't focus on totals in specific areas, but rather the idea that some will likely get walloped.

Is it still trending west?

Yeah...but you have the right idea on a different scale.

What's your take on Fire Island, Steve?  My brother's weighing stay/go.

Reasonable at this time, beware the Messenger shuffle which would put you in more rain less wind. Tight wind

Yeah sounds about right. Not a cat 1 hurricane or anything but enough to be disruptive out here.
