I’ve been thinking that this storm could have a lifecycle similar to 2002’s Hurricane Lili, but with a landfall a bit further east, they both occurred during the same time period too
I think i remember that, was kinda weird where like it would calm slightly between cells. And then after like a five minute break another light to moderate shower would move over and slam us with hurricane force wind gusts.
I found this on the CHC site for Cape Breton:
Strong category-1 hurricane force winds of 100 gusting to 140 km/h at exposed locations except 140 gusting to 160 km/h at the coast with surge of 1.8 to 2.4 m and dangerous waves from 11 to 15 m from Hurricane Fiona are expected.
No storm will ever beat Hurricane Barry from a few years back in terms of ugliness, that thing was literally just a big rain band with literally no convection over or north of the center. How it managed to attain hurricane strength is a mystery of the universe considering I've seen 40 kt tropical storms that looked better
I remember laughing at your prediction (in a friendly way lol) but then thinking “Imagine he’s right? What a coup that would be.” And here we are, with a 4/0/0 season so far. I had 21/9/4 and at this point I’m thinking there’s a better chance Long Island gets hit by a Cat 4 this year than that happening
Only .02” of rain from my weather station last night. I’m in Virginia and last night i saw some heavy rain for the first time since like June. July finished with only around half an inch of rain imby
I was only an 11 year old kid but I remember that being the hottest day I’ve ever experienced, it was like 102 with a dewpoint of 75. Heat index was like 115-120
97/65 for the high here, easily the hottest day here since July 2020, the lack of humidity really helped. Temps have backed off to 94 now that the seabreeze has picked up. I would be in the pool rn if I didn’t get a nasty sunburn on Wednesday
