Mesonet station XSRS Santa Rosa Sound DB127 recorded sustained winds of 84 mph with a measured wind gust of 116 mph. https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/lsr/?by=wfo&wfo=MOB&sts=202610100045&ets=202610100045&settings=1110100

When you say elevated interior are you thinking catskills and southern greens are included or do you really think it'll be a shutout for everyone south of Stowe and less than 2k ft asl. lol

Coast is due for a big march. Every single march since 2020 has been a complete ratter. Total shutout on any sort of wintery activity.

Looks like landfall will be on Miramar Beach, which means Destin will stay on the left side. If there is any surge, it looks like it would be directed to some areas that have state park land, which is a plus.

They verify more often than they do not

Last half hour has been the worst, definitely close to hurricane sustained with some higher gusts. .

Which is it's experimental forecast

I’ve seen several write ups talking about how elevation could make a difference this winter. Why is that? It seems to me that in the winter location (eg, which side of the storm you’re in) makes a lot more difference than elevation. Heck I’m usually warmer than the lower elevations in a cutter.

Scott, Ray, Ginx... have met them all. Truth be told I'm a transplant from MA. Why I moved, don't ask! Deep down shhhh, I live for a good snow. First tropical system after moving lost power for a week...that sealed it for experiencing named storms.

Upper atmosphere is what matters. And if you were at some Elevation…that too.

Got caught in a mixed rain/snow shower today in Franconia Notch. Could see legit flakes flying around while the temperature was in the upper 40s. Bizarre. I’ll remember that when it’s 32 and raining this winter lol

One SVR LSR report pet peeve of mind is "wires down." A LTG strike can do that! Just over time, it seems issuing warnings have become looser and looser as to criteria. I recall last summer, they issued a flash flood warning for the DC metro even before the line of tstms got to the metro! Given a line can quickly weaken as to rainfall rates, that is putting the wagon in front of the horse..

You and @CoastalWx have so much in common it sounds! Want to know how much a snow weenie he is? Last winter, when he *finally* got 6" of snow in a storm after an excruciating 4 years w/o one at his house, he goes "it looks VIOLENTLY BEAUTIFUL out there!" I never thought I'd see those two words used together!

Look at the disparity from sustained to gusts. In a minimal HU, NHC will say "max winds sustained 65 kt with gusts to 80 kt" Standard gust factor over water. However, over land, that difference becomes much larger!

I generally agree with you, especially being in the mid-Atlantic where a severe warning is verified on a 35mph gust that takes down a dead tree branch, but I don't think that this one matters too much. I might argue that 115mph sustained is a too high of a marker for an EWW. That's an EF2 tornado sustained! Hopefully this cam stays up. https://maps.app.goo.gl/5GBwpLHVo3nQd6CH8

Sounds like @CoastalWx response! It's not snow, so MEH!

It has been in ET transition for at least the last 6 hr. Once the srn part of the eyewall was gone, that was the first signal.

If so, they are violating their own directive. Why have thresholds for warnings if they are just deliberately ignored? Why not lower the criteria for a svr tstm warming for winds less then 58 mph in gusts b/c they can still do damage? How about pea size hail? A lot of pea size hail can devastate crops. Issue a warning for that? It is slippery slope. There comes a point of diminishing returns. Excessive alerts eventually become counterproductive.

My point was all that Sandy damage happened after its extratropical transition. If the only criteria is supposedly “damage that occurred while it was tropical” then it doesn’t count.

Well modelled IMHO. A huge difference between a mid-latitude winter snowstorm and a tropical system of any CAT. Hurricanes are a whole different beast. I would take a 2 footer over 100+ mph. hurricane. Different adrenaline rush too.

I assume many people thought that this would be a halfacane at landfall, but this is more impressive than the radar presentation would lead on.
