    The Atlantic, outside of sub tropical storm Teddy moving away, is free of any tropical systems. I believe the U.S. mainland has had 4 hurricanes this season and 1 of them was a major. The season is now on the decline (but certainly not over) as we are now approaching cooler weather. I think wind shear really kept a lid on a lot of storms this season.

    Time to watch the W Caribbean area:

    I thought this return to full power happened some time ago.    I have had a good locked signal for months in CI.     There was a period where my own position/antenna made a difference.

    Concerning the range, the antenna height and its gain is what counts.   Nearby structures and those along signal path play a role too---thus all the testing.   Theoretically, power must increase by 4X to make a significant difference---to 4,000 watts here.


    It has been at 1000w for months, but it’s not at its old transmission power before this whole debacle happened years ago.

     

    edit: according to NWS normal power is 1000w. Not sure if that’s always been the case or more recently. Could have sworn KWO35 transmitted at 1250 or so, but perhaps I’m wrong.

    Later on I’ll fiddle with my weather radio to see if it gets a stronger connection from Manhattan or Riverhead (weak).

    Signal is strong enough in Syosset.  I doubt you’ll hear it from Riverhead with this transmitter now at only 1000w. Old transmitter was 1500w as I recall.

    As many named storms as we have had this season, so far, it really has not been as bad as it could have been. Many of the storms were weak and fortunately we have had only a few hurricanes and one major. It is now mid September and in a few weeks we will be past peak, very active right now and even though the waters are warm, wind shear has been helping to keep many of the storms this season at bay. Of course things can change fast.

    Don’t go jinxing us. :unsure:

    With such a deep trough into the GL / MW and strong ridging along the coast - you can see a very wet setup perhaps PA/ OH - west of the coast 9/5 - 9/13.  Extent of ridging along the coast will determine how much cool and penetrate and what duration.  Right now looks a bit back and forth bias warm with ridging encompassing the coast and WAR typically stronger than modeled this season.

    I do think the WAR will be under modeled & there’s a nice corridor for the east coast to be at risk for any tropical systems.  Hopefully I’m wrong on this for other reasons.

    Just saw the HRRR peel the bow echo southeast toward PHL instead of to near Toms River late today.  So I could be mistaken on my previous post. 

    I did see EC parameters and it looks quite robust Saturday, even predawn,  for big rainfall producing thunderstorms...possibly in several bands...not only Ocean County to eastern LI, but maybe something near or just nw of EWR-HVN.  EC dewpoints rise to the mid 70s midday Saturday.
