I’m interested to see the coastal flooding for this from the surge , I think it’s a wildcard to a degree , that is where I think any damage may surprise to the upside , literally on the beach .
 

The circulation Is huge and If that backs in enough to get onshore winds to gale force with the giant wave action on top , that is really and has really been my area of excitement / concern / interest .  

Yes mine too

This could be a major concern in eastern facing areas, especially along the coast of Maine.  Even though this will be nor'easter strength when it's decaying east of Maine Lee's remnants will probably have more ability to generate coastal flooding because of its strength and size before it begins to wind down.  This is probably of more significance than wherever Lee's remnants make landfall.

It’s displacing a lot of water before it weakens while on approach.  The ocean will be responding, even away from the storm.

Yes. Agree.

Lee has pretty consistently had a Nova Scotia destiny for LF.  It won’t be catastrophic but with that wind field, I would expect a lot of power issues in Atlantic Canada and parts of Maine.

May hardly rain at BOS.

So much for the coveted euro.

It’s JAM and it’s been that since 2015. It’s turned into a pony but some continue to ride it as if it’s a thoroughbred.

6z GFS bufkit has 50-60 knots of wind at the top of the mixed layer for PWM Saturday afternoon.

My bestfriend/roommate from college got a job on TV in Portland several months back (his second stint in Maine). He's pretty pumped...he's going to get to do live storm coverage. He's gone out in some snowstorms but his first taste with tropical.

Probably his only chance to cover tropical in Maine.

Took me 15 minutes to figure out WTF this guy was talking about in relation to Tropical Tidbits. To think in my younger days I would watch the Long Ranger on Accuweather Pro to get his opinions, lol...

Back then he was far different. He wrote a blog on the Accuweather site that was worth reading.

NW wind probably limit splash over? But will be big waves

I honestly think this keeps ticking more progressive and is probably in Cape Sable by early pm and surf will be muted in NH (like currently at jeffreys ledge bouy) as there is less and less of a slow NW capture . Most swells in NH from the SE get somewhat shadowed by upper outer cape and they need ESE angle

Nothing like it, prepare to be soaked though lol 

It slid east, and it happens. A lot. Best of luck to the Mainers and Canadians. 

This has been my best peak season forecast yet. With Nigel coming (hopefully not a MH lol) and then a possible break after the 20th, I’m spot on so far. MDR may stay frisky though if the wave train doesn’t slow down as much as anticipated. 

I think we turn to an abbreviated homebrew and hybrid season   in October.

Yes, Its CBS13 where he's at, Charlie Lopresti is chief Meteorologist there, I speak with him all the time, All three networks have made some wholesale changes on the weather side.

Shear size of Lee should make Sat interesting. Picture this in the GOM

Already have received e-mails from Spectrum, Fydium and CMP about the potential for power outages, I have a Genny.

So basically a Gusty day with some on/off downpours, got it.
