All Activity

Full moon on Saturday

65 / 47 a break in the muck for the most part today and thursday for a 48 hour reprieve then deal with the cutoff / ULL and subsequent coastal storm ;ater Friday through Sunday timed unfortunately with the weekend. 1-3 inches of rain more east. Beyond there overall normal to warmer 9/30 - 10/6.

My flat roof can't take much more waterboarding at this point. This is terrible.

It’s interesting that the greatest October +EPO variation from the El Niño -EPO mean occurred in 1982 and 1997. October 2023, 2015, and 1972 were more Nino-like in that regard. But the North Pacific low is becoming more active than it has been which you pointed out in your post.

Better skill scores than GFS

I’ll tell you what though, we’re easily gusting to 30 here. There’s gonna be many days of gust 30 or more helping to build the seas up so you get anything about 50 or especially 60 you’re gonna have problems if that’s timed with high tide.

Holy wind and nice streamers from the ocean. Here at work streamers galore. NB

Yeah not a fan. Love the Lewes/Rehoboth area though.

Yeah, we would take icon, but that’s still kind of a JV model to me

Glad we don't live there. Wait, that's not true....

Pretty good back bent warm front and LLJ on the Rufus despite the low initially hooking west toward the Delmarva. Then it dumbbells back around toward the islands for round 2.

Just one more reason to hate Ocean City!

Pretty stout LLJ.

ICON $ shot

Man let’s lock that German run . Thats a ripper

2016-17 was a weak Nina and short lived. ENSO was neutral by the beginning of Feb. My first Rehoboth beach blizzard chase was early Jan that winter, then the next one was early Jan 2018- the 'bomb cyclone'. Been 4 blizzards there in the last 10 years. Crazy.

Yeah ICON is a doozy. RGEM is pretty far east, but wet enough to ruin the weekend.

From the 11AM EDT advisory for TD 15E: ...INTERESTS IN THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS SHOULD CLOSELY MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THIS SYSTEM... SUMMARY OF 500 AM HST...1500 UTC...INFORMATION ---------------------------------------------- LOCATION...14.5N 154.4W ABOUT 320 MI...520 KM SSE OF SOUTH POINT HAWAII ABOUT 525 MI...840 KM SSE OF HONOLULU HAWAII MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...35 MPH...55 KM/H PRESENT MOVEMENT...WNW OR 290 DEGREES AT 6 MPH...9 KM/H MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...1004 MB...29.65 INCHES WATCHES AND WARNINGS -------------------- Interests in the Hawaiian Islands should closely monitor the progress of this system. A Hurricane or Tropical Storm Watch will likely be required for a portion of the state later today. —————————— The depression has slowed since the last advisory and seems to be moving west-northwestward at about 5 kt. A ridge to the northeast of Hawaii is forecast to weaken and slide eastward as a mid- latitude trough drops over the northwestern Hawaiian islands. This evolution is likely to the cause the cyclone to slow down later today or tonight and then turn northward or north- northeastward by tomorrow with some increase in forward speed. The trough is forecast to move westward this weekend as the ridge rebuilds north of Hawaii, which should force a sharp westward turn while the cyclone is close to the Big Island. At this time frame, it is impossible to know exactly when that turn will happen and, unsurprisingly, there is a large north-south spread in the guidance. Our best guidance is on the northern side of the track envelope, and new NHC forecast remains essentially the same as the last advisory. Interests in the Hawaiian Islands, especially on the Big Island, should closely monitor the system, with life-threatening catastrophic flooding possible over the steep terrain on this track. The depression should intensify slowly at first, given the current structure of the low-level center not co-located with the mid-level circulation as seen on satellite. However, after the system develops an inner core, the environment seems conducive for significant strengthening, with low shear, high mid-level moisture and SSTs from 28-29C. The rapid intensification probabilities are increasing, and the best model guidance is showing this as a major hurricane in a few days. Given the environment and the best-performing aids (Google DeepMind and HCCA) again showing major-hurricane strength, the NHC forecast is raised from the previous one and shows the cyclone as a major hurricane when it approaches the Big Island of Hawaii by the weekend.

@CoastalWx will like this run

Do you guys know there's a storm threaded for the noreaster?? Asking for a friend

Sign me up for that outcome.

12z ICON and its members still pretty good
