  1. Exactly. If Fiona had hit us, it would have rivaled '38.
  2. I believe so...not to mention '38 struck at a significantly further south latitude.
  3. I think the main difference was that this didn't move nearly as fast as '38, which allowed for the drop to relatively modest wind intensity on approach.
  4. My early impression is that '38 was significantly worse, though this was a strong hit.
  5. The whole reason why tropical systems are usually a PIA is because the tropics are governed by predominately meager steering influences, and then timing the precise interaction with the westerlies is a whole other headache. Once the westerlies pick them up, its a mail-in forecast.
  6. The GFS is a good example of why the ultimate landfall intensity is a real question.....the fact that it may interact significantly with that mid latitude trough prior to LF gives me pause. Its going to need to veer in fast and south to be intense.
  7. Once they get picked up by a trough, its a pretty easy forecast.
  8. Totally...no argument. But like I said, the warning system is no comparison today, obviously...which helps mitigate death.
  9. You look at that time stamp, and expect to see 320 from the GFS...but 18 on the EURO? Surreal...
  10. Totally, except they will be much more prepared.
  11. https://easternmassweather.blogspot.com/2022/09/fledgling-caribbean-tropical-system.html First Call on Monday
  12. Absolutely....it can track up the coast and gives us a breezy deluge, or it can track near/off of the coast and be a good nor' easter, but it isn't going to hit dead on as a hurricane. Will some models threaten with that? Probably.
  13. Its crazy how many knowledgeable people just can't wrap their minds around the fact that a tropical system skirting SNE to the east is NBD in terms of wind. They see the pretty picture with the low near the cape and just lose their minds. This system as no chance to do what people are hoping it does.
  14. 1.14" on the day...4.30" on the month. Definite improvement.
  15. Totally. Those parabolic recurves are useless. This is not a NE storm.
  16. La nina will be dying by the latter portion of winter. I don't really see the progress with the subsurface...nor worried about it. I think the ceiling is -1.2 SON ONI.
  17. Yea, I remember us having this same conversation last month and frankly, I don't see that anything has changed. I expect a similar outcome.
