I mean they use the same models as everyone else does, we saw the large spread. 48 hours ago there was definitely a higher impact chance. I still think “over-warn” in these cases is better than getting caught with pants down. Especially in multi-faceted events where you can have flooding, surge, wind, tornados, etc. And it was a Sunday so it’s not like all schools and businesses closed up for 1-2” of snow like when a nor’easter whiffs on a Tuesday in December. There really was not much risk here that I see in over-warning. Boy cried wolf syndrome doesn’t seem to be a thing because the next time people will take it seriously too it seems… at least history has shown over-warned events don’t lead to less preparation next time it seems in any type of weather.

At least 85F at MVL. Like Mt Ascutney on 91 northward was like a beautiful summer day on the drive up. Grabbed the dog and headed up the hill.

Sub-.500 since the All-Star Game. Like an evenly split winter. One half epic, one half shit. Back up north now, was there a storm somewhere?

I still regardless of actual wind speed, damage and power out is still just as impactful. Seems enough without power in CT that it was an impactful system.

Yeah not surprising. I still am in shock with how much debris can come out of trees with 20+ gusts. Would’ve thought they were stripped already from all the events in the past decade. The scud aloft was absolutely flying though. Reminds me of those 925mb wind progs shared on here…. Watching leaves gently sway at 5-15mph while it’s like 40kts sustained at like 2,000ft.

I cannot believe the amount of small limb debris on the roads around here… wind felt like it might have gusted to 30mph and there’s small twigs, branches and crap everywhere on the roads. These trees just want to drop stuff.

Yup I totally get it. If I lost power for 7-10 days from a weak TS, I’d still be a bit hesitant.

I sort of get it from what Ryan said… CT has seen some ridiculous power outages for what models had as rather mundane storms. Hearing the amount of days some posters have been without power in recent years… It would be easier to lean towards hype. Judging by what everyone around here says they are expecting to lose power if there are 40mph gusts, ha.

Engagement party yesterday. Heading back today. Will be back in a week for something else too. That rain band was torrential, it knows how to rain here it seems this summer.

That on the Davis? I was thinking maybe 15mph on the hill in Woodstock so far. Torrential rain right now though.

The Red Sox were obviously distracted by hurricane prep tonight with 5 errors. You can tell the players were wondering more about latest model guidance for Henri than playing baseball.

Nice evening in NE CT. Probably time for an evening swim. See all sorts of trees ready to take those power lines out too, ha.

I’m down here right now, they are all complaining about the power outages they’ve already had this summer, ha.

Those are just insane lengths of time to have no power, and it’s not like you live in the middle of no where. Jeez.

Weird to see convection moving SE to NW in N.VT… not something we get often.

Just got down to NE CT… every gas station has at least one or two people filling up red gas containers. One of the clerks was joking they lose power on a sunny day with a stiff breeze.

Misquamicut is looking better and better for huge surf. My favorite beach spot growing up, experienced a couple days of good waves body surfing as a kid and that was it. Even on NESN after the Sox game, they switched to Henri watch.

Noticed Twitter back to normal today. Can read without an account.

Full on pig roast up here. All sunshine, 86F, dews of 68-70F. Glad to be coming into AC this evening at home. Was very hot at the Mtn today.

That seems like Home Depot everyday, ha.

The trees are blocking the wind but I can hear it just above them.

That’s a true professional met right there… and a professional .

Blocking of the flow will be the determining factor.

0.69” in the Stratus this evening. I’m sure there’s some slight difference between manual and electronic A soaking rain that lasted for most of the day. Even the persistent mist and -RN made for a damp synoptic rain event. Places just south of here got double these amounts and more. Coastal storm type gradient.

Gaining latitude, the cone will tighten in the New England region is the idea I think. Both correct.
