Sey-Mour Snow Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Great time to be right on the water in Misquamicut Beach, staying til Sunday PM at the Pleasant View right on the water. I wonder if they make us go home Saturday night with the threat of inundation after midnight. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baroclinic Zone Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 One thing lost I feel is, while the winds may not be prolific, the duration of TS forces and greater looks pro-longed and over an already saturated area. Will not take much to drop trees and cause significant damage. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxWatcher007 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 That's one heck of a hit for CT verbatim. 55-60kt 925mb winds across 2/3 of the state along with big rains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butterfish55 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Me, Bob and Brett may avoid the flooding rains. Looks windy here though. I was a freshman at U. Miami for hurricane Andrew. I had just arrived 2 days before it hit. Wiped out the campus. Hard to describe the sound of the wind....Kind of like sitting right over the engine while a plane is taking off. Growing up in Taunton, Gloria and Bob are definitely memorable too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A prolonged duration of gusts even 40-50 mph is going to do a quite a bit of damage. If we get into the 50-60 mph range...it will be on the ugly side.

Typhoon Tip Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 16 minutes ago, Quincy said: Not sure if this will embed correctly, but see the trend of the steering currents. The orientation of the eastern US trough is more supportive of a northward pull, rather than the more “typical” sling to the NNE/NE: You know ... I've spent some time this morning outlining some of the uniqueness vs comparisons to past, re this whole thing. Some semblance in governing synoptic players that in principle are similar to Sandy - but differ in exact orientation and amplitude...etc..etc.. But the uniqueness of this may be slipping away to that sort of nearer term modulation you're demo represents above. That's starting to try and look or 'trend' in a more typical climo set up ...it's not there totally. But trend - interesting... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George001 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I just looked at the models and it looks like they are taking the low just to the west of my area. Should I start preparing to lose power? I live in the middle of the woods so in big storms I often lose power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quincy Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Most of the significant impacts seem to be limited to I-95 and points southeast, as I see it. Unless it continues farther/faster northwest before weakening and looping. Then you’d see more rain and maybe a spin-up threat farther inland into CT. Otherwise it’s probably going to underperform the expectations atop Mt. TOL. It’s bad news any way you slice it for south facing shores, bays/inlets and Long Island Sound. Probably the same for the South Shore of LI, especially if there continues to be any west/southwest trend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
