Strong to Damaging Winds...
A very powerful southerly LLJ will develop, peaking about 5
standard deviations above normal. Winds at 925 mb peak about
60-80 kt, which is not that common this time of year. Converted
the High Wind Watches to High Wind Warnings and Wind Advisories.
The southerly wind direction complicates things greatly.
Questions remain on the depth of the mixed layer farther inland,
as well as the impact of friction knocking down wind speeds as
well. Have the greatest confidence in high winds across southern
RI into eastern MA, then north along the immediate east coast of
MA. Much of the rest of southern New England converted to Wind
Advisories. Further tweaks to headlines may come with later
forecasts.
