They spit out 50-60 knots for every event like this. Very few actually do it.
My point was that this one it was clear that it was possible given how the soundings looked.
The raw wind gust maps from the models are such a cancer. They're almost completely worthless.
Looking at the soundings on BUFKIT you could see as early as Friday that this one had potential to be a big problem in spots in a way that the typical events don't.
I have Enforcer 104s that I got last year and love them. I ski out west a decent bit but also do a couple weekends in new England... was worried about the 104s but I thought they handled very well on groomers. I'm really happy with them.
There was a pretty long duration TDS with this thing. From Brooklyn/Killingly all the way to RI/MA border.
Pretty subtle and dropped here or there but could be a relatively long track spinner.
May have to watch the mixing on the back side of the storm. With a decent pressure gradient if we're able to keep the sun we could see some fairly good northwesterly gusts even inland.
Even the GFS has ~40 knots at the top of the mixed layer back here.
Pretty favorable CAPE/shear setup around 00z as far east as I-91.
If the NAM is right with the front timing Sunday could be fun for the coast Boston, Providence, New Haven, etc. Quite a bit of CAPE and deep layer shear. Could be some decent hail.
NAM definitely has a nice severe threat on Sunday. Steep mid level lapse rates (~7c/km), MLCAPE over 2500 j/kg, and about 40 knots of deep layer shear. Could definitely see some big hailers and wind if that verifies. Favored areas probably include the coast with the front overhead and westerly flow.
