surely you guys won't buy into the euro when it's west of everything next time right

This unironically is a good thing to keep in mind for the winter.

Just got back from kids 9:00am soccer game in Walpole. (Turf field, so game on unless there is thunder.)

Light rain the entre time and a few gusts good enough to turn a few umbrellas inside-out, but nothing out of the ordinary.

We’re actually getting some bright banding here. Only 0.01” far.

56° -RA

That wind direction almost never produces much precipitation.  I’ve learned that painfully in a few nor’easter’s.

Guy was out in Hampton with a jet ski , looked fun . As long as it doesn’t stall out 

[dendrite]

Strongest winds of the day here…a combo of sun and sprinkles is aiding in the mixing. 

[Torch Tiger]

Gusting around 35 lol

Minimal event here in metro west Boston.   The local hype was embarrassing.  I take my neighbor shopping once a week and he had someone else do it at a time I couldn’t because of the hurricane.  I TTTH but he went ahead anyway.

Sun trying to break through the clouds now.

Lee looks like landfall in down east ME.

probably would have been school closures on a weekday...LOLZ

25-30 mph gusts, heavy rain. Lawn chair shuddering. 

[wx2fish]

Definitely mixing a little better now. MHT just hit G40KT

[mob1]

Bango and Augusta gusting to 47 and 49 mph respectively. Overall, pretty meh event.

[psv88]

Gust to 83 in Maine?

How often do we see that track, in any season.

Not common for an essentially straight north from Bermuda with no recurve. As modeled, it even bended back NNW a bit. It’s a good thing it wasn’t a 200 miles west or it would have been a much higher impact event for the I-95 corridor.

[metagraphica]

Weak sauce as expected, yet somehow just enough to take out my power since 1:00pm. Tree or branches down on the wires down the road.

[NW_of_GYX]

Very meh, good day for stacking wood. Henri was far more impactful imby

[amc]

Very underperforming here in Gray, very minimal gusting. Though for some reason two calls for trees down just now came into the fire department

 

Earlier today went driving around looking for anything not 'meh', even waves at Higgins Beach weren't that spectacular... bummer.

Two guys plus a dog went on the Kennebec at Bath in a small (~16 ft) boat.  BIW rescue fished them all out of the river.  Towed in the boat, too.

Strongest winds here, about G35, arrived 2 PM and continue.  Radar says it's raining but only an odd droplet hit me when I was outside for 20 minutes looking for what caused a loud pop/crack - found nothing of interest.  I wonder if dry air is evaporating the -RA between the NEXRAD beam and the ground.

The W sides of these are almost always meh wind wise. More rain but the wind switches to the east side where Halifax looks to have 70-80mph type gusts, but very little rain. In my experience Henri had a ton of rain in NYC on the west side but the wind resembled a regular windy day. And looks like the rain hasn’t even been that impressive, some places have 3” in Maine?

Kilometers per hour? 

[tamarack]

Power off/genny on at 4:10.  Gusts near 40, not uncommon in decent TS with no issues, but trees able to withstand 3-4 gusts may not do as well with 2.5 hours (and counting) of them.
