Check Tolland obs.

Looks like a heavy rainband is about to reach Nantucket.  Will see how far that makes it.

Has the looting started yet?

Dorian produced the greatest sunset I’ve  ever seen, but this isn’t bad at all.

Wind is calm. If ASH gusts >35 kts I will be surprised and impressed.

When mountain biking this afternoon we came across a big freshly fallen maple and some others from the 20mph winds this morning. Not a good omen.

At least this fish were eating well this morning and tonight. On Thompson Lake around 8am there was an armada of pontoons, tri-toons, and ski boats heading to the marina to pull out.

Put the fan on high in you basement and place your kestrel (if you even have one) in front of it and report back the wind speed.

Final approach.

Not worth hitting the road for this one, but best of luck to all the Mainers and Nova Scotia peeps.

Too easy.

[dendrite]

That's like 12 hours away from potentially verifying?

But yeah it's going to be inverted a bit.

[dendrite]

Being less than 75 miles from Nova Scotia…Thinking I’ll see a pretty impressive “gale”‼️

Piling on the sunset shots from tonight...picked the right night to hit Champlin's in Galilee. Block Island Ferry had seemingly less than a dozen on it as it rode in

Never forget

Lee weakens rapidly in the gulf of Maine; every piece of guidance shows it. This is very run of the mill for you guys up there, especially given how frequently you see sig Nor’ Easter’s.

My sister was in Alexandria NH tonight and took this. 

[Childude645]

does anyone have an explanation for whats keeping the rain bands from moving west?

barely raining west of barnstable...

[NSwx]

Lee is making his presence known in my exposed area of NS. The winds ramped up fast in the last hour or so with house cracking gusts. I will try to grab some video in the morning at high water as I’m in a very good spot to see whatever sea state and surge Lee has to offer.

Lots of dry air being pulled in from the NW below 5000 feet.

Wow. No kidding. PWs mostly below an inch, outside of the Cape/isIands. That’ll do it.

Haven’t even received an inch on MV yet…

 Video quality was better on the original but YouTube made it blurry for some reason. 65 mph or so in the video around 5 am on Cape Sable island causeway.
