Definitely not. But they might not downgrade it. It's very typical for the stated winds of a hurricane to never be observed/verified.

It's become a fetching little halfacane. I expect some strong gusts, but not tons of rain here. The way that thing is funneling into jersey right now is crazy. It's like a mega trowel.

My wife: "Are.. are you rooting for the hurricane?"

This is the only chance it has, right now. It's shed a lot of that se convection and has decent structure over hot water. I don't see how it doesn't gain a little strength, but just a little.

It's reassuring how bad it has looked. It looked more impressive this morning. I don't see it ever overcoming its asymmetry.

More comfortable digs.

I have a substation near my house. It is out of the 1960s. That's not an exaggeration. That's when it was built. It uses an entire house lot. My parents have the exact same load of substation in the UK. It is smaller than a garden shed and is an enclosed box.

It's worth the money for every place, everywhere you go to not look slovenly and temporary. This is one of those things that if you didnt grow up and just become accustomed to it, is utterly unfathomable.

The entire us power grid is antiquated.

Maybe one of these centuries the usa will behave like it's not a colonial outpost and begin burying power lines. Itll make everywhere look much more attractive too. I wouldn't tolerate such shitty cable management inside my computer, or behind my tv, but the usa does worse on a national scale. It's absolutely repugnant.

It hasn't significantly changed, there's been no attempt for the deeper convection to begin wrapping around at all. We need a big tower or two to go up and do that work.

The only wrinkle in this is how RI has happened with way more frequency of late due to "abnormally" high water temperatures. It has a lot of work to do before it can get to a point where it could really explode, and it doesn't have much time to do it. I don't see it happening.

Anyone can have my hurricane.

Gravity waves are fun, but the center still isn't the center, or close to it, thankfully. All that stuff is southeast.

Poor orbital sander job.

They'll likely patrol a couple spots, all of salve's campus ones, for sure. Seaview ave access is a pretty sure bet though if the others are closed off.

That road is often closed in bad weather, as is the road at first beach, both flood quite easily. I'd look elsewhere, perhaps somewhere a little less fashionable along the cliffwalk? They'll close ocean drive to local traffic only as well.

Drink, debauchery, and morally suspect bedfellows?

I'm hoping to avoid a tree falling on my house. Hoping the winds are unremarkable at the surface and it peters. With current thinking on track, it seems Newport would be spared the worst of the rain but so much more watching before we have a great sense of where this is going. The trees here are pretty well conditioned for wind, but it could easily be an odd wind direction for here.

Lots of 40 to 50 mph gusts here, but that's barely remarkable. Decent sustained wind at times though.

My sister lives in the yorkshire dales. I should clarify, in an event. I think she got 7 or so.

D for me. 4 inches of absolute fluff illusion was my best event. I watched an entire day of white rain, and there weren't really any really remarkable storms, just moisture. Three pretty crap winters on the trot, even for here, which is close to the worst place in new England for snow. The only thing not making it an f, like last winter, is the fact that the 3 inches of slush followed by colder temps gave us a surprisingly resilient pack that I was able to ski on locally, and my kid was able to sled on a bunch. A week of real winter in an entire season. Oh, and my sister got more snow than me this year. She lives in england for gods sake.

You're still doing better than newport. You aren't in a bad spot, as far as Rhode island goes, but you're going to have to come to terms with that caveat, just as I have come to terms with celebrating any snow and not worrying too much about what other people get, as the climo speaks for itself. I can travel in any direction by car after virtually any snowfall, and see a steady increase in snow. Frequently I'll drive 10 minutes north of here to daycare and there is twice as much snow. This was comfortably the best event of the season, but I think I appreciated the last one more, as the 3 inches of white rain hardened into something I skied on for a week, and having any sort of variety in this God forsaken monotony is huge. This fluff will be gone in a blink. It's gorgeous out though, and I snuck in a ski today.

4inches and very light snow now. If we had got one little nudge northward this would have been a huge overperformer but I'm pleasantly surprised. It's probably 1/8th the moisture content of the last storm.

Tried to cross country ski on 3 inches of fluff and my skis found grass as the mere wafting of air pushed aside the soap shavings.
