Not sure how far south core of the strongest winds will build?  Northern CT / MA border air could be the southern limit, but it's a fluid setup and could come further south.  NY site I referenced had 4 gusts; 55, 62, 66 and 72!!!

Lost power a couple of minutes after I got home.  Between the fog being blown sideways taking vis to near zero, pelting rain, and awful mud ruts, and driving under the birch tree hanging 5 feet in the air across the whole road, the last 5 miles were about as scary a drive as I have done in years.  By the time I reached the tree being held up by power lines, I was committed as the road is lined with birch and pines, the line was about to hit and I didn't know that I could get off the road if I didn't keep going.

The closet Davis to me showed a 4 deg drop from 8:34 to 8:36.  Updates stopped as it lost power.
