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.
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.
He's 1 mile S of me off Jackson Ave, using the GPS coordinates in the PNS. I finished with 3.59" FWIW. I'm suspect a mile would make that much difference in QPF amounts.
