Where’s @ineedsnow?

Pressure dropping like a rock with some big FL and SFMR winds at the center.

Rapid intensification of yore Go to bed with a 1, wake up to a 4.

She’s a beaut, Clark

If it can avoid an ERC. Exceptional pressure falls

5:50 AM AST Sat Aug 16 Location: 19.6°N 61.5°W Moving: WNW at 20 mph Min pressure: 948 mb Max sustained: 130 mph

Erin's a regular smoke show this morning. Impressive intensification overnight.

Not uncommon for strong hurricanes to continue trucking along more to the South than expected. Once it feels the weakness in the ridge, it will sharply turn right, probably not much West of forecast

OI LASS WE COULD DO WITH SOME MORE INNIT

How do you rate Erin right now lad

Eyewall really contracting in the visible . Might make a run at cat 5

I like how NHC has Erin moving WNW but the past few hours she's been going due west. That's without wobbling or stair stepping.

My guess is that the stronger sea breeze in recent years has been also playing a role reducing the 90° days relative to the increases at other areas. Stronger sea breeze circulation South Shore of NYC and LI. Plus there have been several equipment moves at JFK since 1948. So it appears that the observations prior to 1995 were at warmer parts of the airport a little further from Jamaica Bay. Making it easier to record 90° days further from the sea breeze. The current location of the ASOS since 1995 is right on the water. JFK is so large that there is a significant difference in temperatures closer to the Ozone Park side than the current ASOS near the cooler 5 towns right on the Bay.

I wake up to see I missed again. An overnight storm complex left southwestern Schuylkill County in a flood warning this morning. Some personal weather stations recorded as much as 4 inches of rain. Sadly, it drifted southeast into Berks County.
