I care about my chops only to the nave.

In scanning through the overnight model runs I am really struck by the remarkable agreement of the forthcoming wind storm about to ravage the area. Model after model showing gusts to 40 - 60 mph from overnight Friday into Sunday. It’s not just LI which will get the worst of it. It includes NYC, NJ, SE NY, even into parts of eastern PA and then into southern New England. Fully leafed trees and heavy rains look to combine with this to cause widespread power outages.

Nolo appears to be wrapping convection around the eye now and trying to mix out some dry airmass. We'll see just how strong it can get prior to the closest approach of the Big Island.

Fay looks like it is going to run out of time again. Clearly, the dry environment is causing issues and inhibiting core development. Increasing shear will start impacting the system by this afternoon.

Polo is still putting on a show once again. The eye has warmed and the CDO has cooled. It probably will regain Category 5 intensity on the next update.

Happening as we get closer to gametime too. Might be converging toward that middle ground I talked about last night. Another 50-100mi north wouldn't be outrageous. This is still a tough setup to precisely predict.

Seems most storms get pulled north and east the last 24 to 48 hours hopefully this works in our favor.. 12z will be interesting either way

Lots of mesoscale models(NAM, HRDPS, RGEM, etc) have been ramping up the short term intensity of the storm +24h tonight

Euro and euro AI more north before the west turn. Seems to be a subtle trend at 00z. That’s more of an impact for SNE. Hope it continues.

Rain forecasts from the GFS and Euro at 00z. Ugly stuff from the Euro.

Really seems like people might be sleeping on the weekend threat but that's just me ..

I really don’t at this point in my life. But like writing, it’s seems it does have writing on some sort of wall.

As he licks his chops he theoretically hopes it misses?

If the high pressure over SE Canada does a 50/50, we are in quite the pickle for us “flat-landers”
