All Activity

13z Sunday, it's headed west and retrograding. So odd to see a Nor'Easter do this, but then again, it's a hybrid system, not a true Nor'Easter. Think a less powerful version of Sandy/Halloween Storm '91. I wonder why hybrid storms do this.

Don't even get me started w/ Sandy! I'llspare you all a rant write-up on that! One thing I will say, at a SNE conference I think 12 years ago, one of the BOX mets who is the resident WFO TC expert was talking about the reanalysis of big HUs that hit New England. And Sandy came up. He was asked if he thought it was still a TC at landfall, and he said, w/ his boss (MIC) on stage w/ him, "offline after a few beers, I say yes it was!"

Really curious what the Goofus does

Odalys is knocking on the door of being a major, and with all the other activity there isn’t a peep about it. Maybe the quietest RI in board history?

But wait, by 21z Saturday it's coming north and dropping pressures and strengthening heading in a Rhode Island ish direction

Rgem appears to of had to many cocktails and would appear to of done atleast 2 or 3 loops so far... way down south

Let’s hope.

Hurricane party in Mastic!

3km says by 12z Sunday is 984, still windy area wide and kinda looks to be crawling, but that's the end of run

No Sandy was. Because it wasn’t tropical, NHC “threw hands up” saying it’s ET.

Hope this becomes a theme for the winter. +PNA can really mitigate the Pacific Puke in Canada.

Many outages in portions of CT if that verified.

Oops coastal

I saw 979 on 3knam

Thats an over performer here.

Cocktail? Sounds like my kind of storm watch!

Rgem is west and stronger as well... If these stronger trends continue i can't see why high wind warnings won't follow in morning for some areas.

I believe all of Long Island is under cocktail flood watch

984 is the lowest pressure I've seen.

BULLETIN Tropical Storm Gonzalo Advisory Number 1 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL072026 200 AM CVT Fri Sep 25 2026 ...TROPICAL STORM GONZALO FORMS SOUTH-SOUTHEAST OF THE CABO VERDE ISLANDS... ...TROPICAL STORM WARNING ISSUED FOR THE CABO VERDE ISLANDS... SUMMARY OF 200 AM CVT...0300 UTC...INFORMATION ---------------------------------------------- LOCATION...13.2N 22.1W ABOUT 190 MI...305 KM SE OF THE SOUTHERNMOST CABO VERDE ISLANDS MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...45 MPH...75 KM/H PRESENT MOVEMENT...NNW OR 330 DEGREES AT 8 MPH...13 KM/H MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...1004 MB...29.65 INCHES WATCHES AND WARNINGS -------------------- CHANGES WITH THIS ADVISORY: The Government of the Cabo Verde Islands has issued a Tropical Storm Warning for all of the Cabo Verde Islands.

The entire area should be under some kind of moderate storm watch and there should be specific advisories with that. Honestly, the European weather products are so much easier to understand.

In other news 12k and 3k nams are much further north closer to long island now and boy, is the 3k dropping pressures.

Did I get @WxWatcher007 as pumped as @ineedsnow here? See what I am saying here? My "rants" are not w/o merit as to NHC not acknowledging legit TCs. The Jan 2023 event is perhaps the most glaring I have ever seen, and this is when they have long broaden the definition of a TC (2005 forced everyone too!) and declare them more. This is good as we are calling things for what they are, but still, you get odd stuff like this that gets ignored operationally. Yes, I know the Jan 2023 thing got included in post-season analysis, but that's not the point. Why was it not declared operationally? My guess is that they did not want to name something in Jan close the East Coast b/c the media would freak, and NHC would have been overrun w/ calls and inquires, so they just deferred to post-season analysis. Sorry, that isn't an excuse. It's your job to monitor and designate TCs in the Atlantic and EPAC in real-time. The atmosphere doesn't care what the calendar says or about our rules or policies, it does what it does! So you see my concern about this current storm and how it may evolve and what may or may not be done from authority. This ST or T evolution is not a low-prob or far-fetched scenario, whether you look at it from a meteorological objective or subjective POV!
