I think even in the industry, that is catching on. The H5 anomalies are a better prognosticator of surface departures vs actual model surface temp departures.
I think this probably becomes more of a confirmation bias. IOW, if one did not get much out of it, they probably get tired of reading or hearing about it. That doesn't diminish the event though. It was a significant event for many from CT to ME.
I expected more to mix at that point as 65kts was over my fanny. It took that sling shot meso to pull the trigger. Otherwise, it would have been just 40-50 stuff.
There was a meteo-tsunami too. BOS harbor tide rose over 4' above where it should have been. If this occurred near high tide later this month, would have been a record tide. Impressive.
Still amazed by the SSE-NNW swath of winds basically east of rt 24 to BOS and east of 93 into Essex county. Freaking guidance nailed that. Looks like Danvers had 70-80mph winds too.
