We probably had some 50+ up on the south facing hillside here. But it never ramped up after about 2-3pm. I was expecting a pretty big finale given the core of the LLJ was to pass around 21z. I’m guessing it was slightly narrower and SE of model guidance. Or maybe just narrower.
That corridor in SE MA got smoked. It was pretty easy to see on the radial velocity loop.
Totally went nearly calm here the past 30 min. Escaped with power still on. I thought the 4-6pm timeframe would be worse but it looks like the core of the LLJ passed a little further SE.
Still a pretty solid event. A lot of ASOS stations cleared 50 knots in MA. Too bad we lost MQE before the peak.
Getting a bit worried here...really starting to crank and the woods behind my house are to the south....those tall trees would want to fall right towards the house in a southerly wind event.
Looks like for MA so far, the HWW criteria were hit at:
MQE (61 kts)
OWD (54 kts)
ACK (53 kts)
BOS (51 kts)
ORH (50 kts)
GHG (50 kts)
Peak should be in the next 2 hours or so.
Yeah, the wind has a good chance of being worse in this one but no foliage really helps with the outages.
That said, there will still probably be plenty of them.
