Not from the area and casually observe significant NE snow events, so as a region that takes lake effect snow constantly, where will today-Saturday rank all time for Buffalo blizzards, let alone lake effect events? From an outside perspective, high end tropical storm conditions associated with intense snow bands parked over a major metro area for a day or 2 spells absolute disaster but I could be wrong. So overall, what will be the eventual impact and overall historic ranking of this event?

Only interested in this for the likely high impact wind event and the cold snap. Don't care for .5 inches of snow

Going off 2 AM motion, should expect landfall around 3:30 AM or before. Also formed quite a large CDO despite dry air

Believe its the first US station, but Vero Beach is at 39/52 first official tropical storm condition verified station.

75 knot SFMR in NE eyewall

Eyewall seems open to the south, will probably fill in with frictional convergence eventually though. Thought 80-85 MPH would be easily obtained but LF intensity may end up being just 60-65 knots

A little temperature increase when going over the center, maybe an attempt to form an inner core despite the mid satellite presentation. .

Interesting 12z Euro and EPS

Little uptick on 18z GEFS in WCAB

Seems like NHC satellite estimates were very close if not right on the money

Pain I want more Summer

12z Euro alluded to this also. I don't think we'll get anything too significant considering incoming trough may force it south and/or impose shear and dry air, but it's worth watching.

GEFS inconsistency takes years off my life That being said if something goes down in Caribbean as others have stated I think it's more of a Central America threat but our models stink so anything is possible.

Yeah, I am having trouble believing the hundreds of bodies things. Usually USA hurricanes don't really directly kill 100+ people, obviously Katrina and Maria exceptions. A lot of the deaths occur afterwards. For example, Ike and Harvey which impacted the extremely populated Houston area had about 68 direct and 18 direct deaths. Other modern hurricanes like Ida, Michael, Sandy, Irma which were catastrophic in their own rights and did an extreme amount of damage all had "only" 50-100 direct deaths. These are all sourced from Wikipedia and I haven't done any digging of my own but if those numbers are false, it likely isn't much higher than reported. 50-100 is a lot of fatalities don't get me wrong but it's just proving to the point of Ian. Ian killing "hundreds" directly in today's modern era would be a very hard thing to do. Chances are, those reports are exaggerated. However, it would be arrogant of me to assume it's 100% false as I have seen those hundreds of deaths reports on social media. There were also multiple chasers reporting seeing fatalities on their own. I would still lean it being exaggerated but it's an unsettling amount of people that are saying its hundreds of fatalities.

No rest for the weary

Large amount of wind damage reports coming in far inland.

Just saw this too A WeatherFlow station at Morris Island Lighthouse recently reported sustained winds of 75 mph (120 km/h) with a gust to 82 mph

At first thought winds were unimpressive vs yesterday with the wind field. However, a lot of damage reports are coming in and North Charleston is sustained at 51 gusting to 68.

Surprised there isn't a FFW for actual downtown Charleston. There's one for the areas surrounding it, radar estimates and actual reports are borderline FFE material.

Dry dewpoints seems to be leading to convection wanning and being weak when it reaches land. Should change through the night, however
