What can happen is a barotrophic enhancement as it transitions to extratropical. All these posts this morning are pretty menial. I mean it is a weak TS but with lots of rain and coastal wind its not your everyday summer rain storm as depicted today anyway.

I’m not sure how strong Irene was (grant it a different track) but there was  tree damage in Eastern CT

So fugly on satellite. Yawn.

Lots of dry air here in S FL pushing into the storm. Good for me because won’t see much rain, and maybe some high end TS winds

Here I am worrying weather I have to shutter or not and Kev is worrying about picking up some sticks in the yard.

NHC shifting the cone further west.

 Brings it close to my coast here FL, Stuart/Jupiter area

Just now, CoastalWx said:

GFS now kisses FL too. We may have to watch that trend. If it does scrape FL and then head into Land near SC/NC...not sure how much is left once she gets here.

I think it’s going to trend like Matthew and stay off shore here, but will be close. Looks like some shear my interact with it near FL 

Tropical Storm Watch for my County here in S FL, expecting most to stay off shore like Matthew

Tropical Storm watches up here in S FL

It's very hard to do that though.

OTS is very likely but I wouldn’t sell a ride up the coast across SNE. 
 

I look to get a pass a few miles to me East here in S FL maybe as a strong TS.

Yep I posted about it, at the train tracks. We ultra dry

I was there in 2012, same place; there was  logging being done and they left a big pile to burn! Was no fun then can’t image with the heat today. 

6-10 acre in Thompson CT this after noon require close to 20 departments from MA/CT to extinguish. Last thing you want to do on a 95F day

I hope we 1954 . 38 would be jaw dropping and devestating...Id rather several threats to occupy a few months.

TS Irene and Sandy had most without power for 4-6 days; a Cat 2 would be jaw dropping never mind 1938

Hanna & Gonzalo......zzzzz. Bring me Isaias. 

I want no part of it!.  Already in my storm prep mode down here in S FL for that wave coming off Africa, making sure storm kit is up to date with supplies and running my generator.

Beast 

Which one?  The one behind it just near the NY/MA line is pretty stout

Few big trees down in Webster Ma area, close the the CT Line

Seeing this  from local Fire photographer 

Possible tornado in the ware/west Brookfield area according to radio reports

You wonder if we may pull a 55 type year with a Connie and Diane. What the first doesn’t take down, the second does kind of thing 

This is more plausible than 1938 walking through the door. What is the last CAT 2 or 3 storm to hit New England?

Lol this tittle 

More heavy rain for the Ashford/Eastford area

Fellow wx freaks. Be thankful you don't live in Floridah. Virus is totally in control, the narrative coming from the politians doesn't  fit what's actually occurring. 

I moved trying to distance myself. Nearest neighbor is over a thousand feet away. Surrounded self by 10 acres. Room to spread out, eventually a self sustainable off the grid farm. Two barns, 2500 sq/ft. of house. A ton of work. LOL

Into full summer here Temp 95F daily, dews mid upper 70's. Soon I'll get my instruments up and working just in time for hurricane season.

Roosta - not sure where you are, but not “out of control” where I am in S FL. A majority (Not all)  of the case increases have been in the immigrant farm worker communities around and just south of Lake Okeechobee, Palm Beach County to Dade.

So, what are some of the better SNE public courses? I had always liked Raceway in Thompson CT for the 18 holes, cart, and lunch deal they offered. Blissful Meadows in Uxbridge Ma is another decent course.

If Faye is in the Hudson Valley is that another low near Buffalo?

If anything storms like this should be a good exercise of having a storm kit ready to go be it tropical or winter....IE, Generator running, Fuel, Battery, Portable radio, Food, documents. Living down here gives a new meaning to preparedness; when you have the potential monster like Dorian 70 miles to your East there isn’t a lot of time to prepare.

i think most in New England are lax on our Tropical potential seeing we have been lulled by the last 30 years but at some point that will end.
