Possibly a low end Cat 1 for sure. Winds are only 40 to 45 right now at sea, any interaction with the land will disrupt the organization. NJ and SLI probably hit hardest on the wind front then of course you have the Tstorm gusts either gust fronts or microbursts.
With arrival inland as dark approaches any daytimeheating as mentioned above in Mr Bells post would be NYC area. I would say SWCT has the best shot at a low topped spinner. Under current trajectory LF in SNJ seems likely
Euro is 1003, highest wind I see is 42 mph 100 miles east of the center over the open ocean. Once the circulation ingests continental air off the Midatalantic land and hits cooler waters this will be a heavy rain storm with some embedded gusts to 40 on the coast 25 to 30 inland.
Fantastic read thank you. In 1993 as a grad student I published a paper on the effects of forest ecology from Hurricanes. I used the Harvard Forest extensively. Good stuff
