This storm is moving pretty quickly - That may well be the saving grace for many areas with respect to rainfall tallies. The rain is already out of the coastal areas; this storm is now all about the inland regions. It's really truckin'! I think at 18 mph!

What was expected ended up happening just a few hours late, which NHC mentioned as a risk for more intense landfall. My guess is a low end Cat 2 verified in the end. We’ll see in the AM how the damage looks. The surge I’m sure was severe but may have missed Destin just to the east so maybe a slight “win” there.

I wanna believe in these early flakes

If you squint, maybe some sting jet type processes going on?

Sandy did not become a Nor'easter - it became extra-tropical but it plowed west-ward into NJ.

lol trying to compare Sandy with 2020 Isaias. Come on folks.

I wonder if I hit my max surge mark of 10'? Killed it on LF locale and intensity. ...should be a quick post-mortem.

Curious about surge heights between Miramar and PCB. There has been no reports from those locations and I imagine that is where surge peaked.

By definition the “maximum sustained wind” is going to occur over a very small area and is always going to be over water. This table literally proves nothing.

Those winds near PNS are from the second wind max there. Really interesting feature.

Ngl it was pretty clear off live feeds alone at the very least that Ian, Ida, and Michael in addition to Laura had higher sustained speeds than what reports said.

same city that got like 12 inches of snow two winters ago

Milton Florida just recorded 75 MPH sustained gusting to 105 MPH

Odd placement, given LP positioning, but its likely a sting jet pumping out those impressive numbers on the west side.

I mean 98 for Ian?

0z is again significant with widespread 4-8+" along the escarpment. Perfect firehose set-up. HRRR continues to have very gusty winds into Sunday evening with the remnant center running right through Tennessee. Max gusts come mid-afternoon Saturday with 40-50 m.p.h. at elevation. And I will add: just because it isn't Helene, an extreme case, doesn't mean it can't cause significant issues.

Radar velocities still show some 100 mph winds just off the deck for areas just inland

A- Not all METARs are indestructible B- Like what was said earlier, METARs don't always capture the true core of a hurricane C- Wind damage from these of storms beg to differ and provide evidence of higher windspeeds I.E Laura D- Like I said earlier, "sustained" winds are a measure over water and are reduced by friction.

gust to 83mph at buoy PCBF1 near Panama City Beach FL

Why? The shear would still have done the same thing? Shear is Shear

Ian 98 lol. Thats laughable.

Pretty impressive actually, not sure what some of you expected.
