I don’t get my rocks off from wind and infrastructure destruction. Everyone has their fetish! 
 

Euro starting to look even better for NVT staying mostly frozen. Need a nice base building event. 

I don't understand it, but to each their own. Most are looking for powerful winds and flooding

Right now we`re progged for a
roughly 40-70+ kt jet in place. On top of this GFS Bufkit soundings
showing these winds only roughly 0.5-1 kft AGL! Not certain at this
point how well we will mix as it will impact what gusts we realize,
but the higher NBM seems justified at this juncture given these
signals. Will likely need High Wind Watches for land. Would not be
surprised if we need Hurricane Force Wind Watches in future updates
if trends continue. At this point only have EPS guidance for 10m
wind gust probs, but it progs low-mod (10-40%) probs of winds AOA 64
kts.

Okay so not as severe as 12/18 then

12/18 had H9 winds to 90 kt.  Every coastal county in the GYX CWA had gusts into the 60s, with Criehaven (Knox Cty) hitting 78 mph.  Even inland, AUG reached 68.  Highly doubt that 1/10 gets there.

Yeah thats what I noticed as well. The H9 winds were insane with that one on 12/18. This one looks much more tame overall. Not sure about 01/13 yet but I highly doubt that rivals 12/18 either.

Rivers and Streams

With the heavy rain and snowmelt, river and stream flooding look to
be a significant possibility. The MMEFS indicating several locations
for 30% exceedance of minor flooding with a few locations having a
30% chance for moderate flooding. As stated above, the big X factor
will be how much snowfall remains after Sundays event and will
likely be a big impact in the river flood threat.

Strong to Damaging Winds

A powerful LLJ will likely bring strong winds and possibly damaging
winds to the region late Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.
Deterministic guidance is in good agreement with a 80-100 kt 850mb
LLJ which is approaching 4-5 standard deviations above climatology
for this time of year. Even at 925mb, winds could be as high as 70-
90 knots. GFS bufkit soundings at this time don`t show much of any
inversion which means these high winds will likely mix down to the
surface. NBM probabilites for 58mph gusts (High Wind Warning) are
high at 70-90% for Cape Cod and the Islands. Even inland for areas
east of the I-95 corridor, probs for 58+ mph gusts are moderate at
40-70%. NBM probabilities for 46mph gusts (Wind Advisory) already
showing moderate probs at 40-70% for the interior. As for the marine
areas, storm force winds are very likely with hurricane force winds
certainly in the realm of possibility with this system.

Coastal Flooding

Given this system is still more then 3 days out, uncertainty remains
high for level of coastal flooding expected. As of right now, minor
to moderate coastal flooding is possible along the south coast where
2-4 feet of surge is possible if the timing of the maximum winds
aligns with the Wednesday AM high tide. Astro tides are also coming
up for the the south and east coast during this time period and may
lead to minor coastal flooding impacts even for the eastern facing
coasts despite the the unfavorable southerly winds due to rapid
pressure drops.

I look back at records for PVD and the 1950s were wild for wind. What a time to be alive. Hurricanes and massive wind cutters. In terms of cutters, March 6, 1959 actually stands out as having the strongest sustained winds at 53 mph for several hours which is the second strongest sustained on record for PVD, only behind Hurricane Carol in 1954.

 1938, 100 sustained g 125 for Providence.  Not sure the sustained in Donna but peak gust was 81

Oh wow really? I figured 1938 was stronger but the records didnt go back that far. Where did you find that out? I compliled this list for PVD:

 

Days with a maximum sustained wind speed of ≥ 45 mph (72 km/h) – (1942 – 2023):

1. 08/31/1954 - 75 mph

2. 03/06/1959 - 53 mph

3. 09/27/1985 - 52 mph

4. 09/12/1960 - 51 mph

5. 12/02/1942 & 09/11/1954 - 50 mph

7. 08/04/2015 - 48 mph

8. 11/21/1956, 11/28/1958 & 03/02/2018 - 47 mph

21. 02/16/1967, 01/23/2005 & 12/23/2022 - 45 mph

 

Days with a maximum wind gust of ≥ 64 mph (103 km/h) – (1953 – 2023):

1. 08/31/1954 - 105 mph

2. 09/12/1960 & 09/27/1985 - 81 mph
