I think the primary issue is too many land owners in the problem areas around the radar. Also someone in their infinite wisdom in 1993 decided that a half height tower would be fine in a stand of trees. Now that they're all grown up we're going to have to spend millions to raise the tower to full height. But that may not be until 2023 or 2024 at the earliest.
-
And now our location is totally inadequate with trees growing up around and blocking the radar from land we don't own and can't alter, never mind the dried up well and non-potable water (we've since fixed the airborne radon issue).

You can tell by some of the roundish bullseyes that there's not much data to work with in some areas. This map was probably just ArcGIS, there's elevation adjustments involved but not PRISM.
-
This is going to be Coop and ASOS data only, so obviously there are some gaps to begin with. I think couple that with the fact that this weenie jackpot is most likely West Hampstead, they only have data back to 2004, so they've been pummeled in recent years and their normal isn't the full period that other sites are. In just under 20 years of records they have 4 100" seasons and another at 98".

I'm still waiting for my 70-71 at PWM (141.5").

Ginx stroll by with one of the pups and drop an upper decker in your gauge?
-
Electric Moo?

Ah, the old no pants damage survey.

Given my hours and always tending to be at work when the weather is bad, my wife insisted on the auto-transfer. I still think it's a little over the top, but I'll admit it's nice not to every have to worry now.
-
We had a 52 mph at 6 am labeled York, which I'm guessing is the Nubble Light ob.
-
There was a lot of hype and it was hard to stare down that LLJ and trust the forecast was on track, but I'm glad I didn't expand headlines.
-
Truro tickled 93 mph (currently sustained 58 gusting to 83).
-
81 mph at that station.
-
HRRR has GHG with 70+ mph gusts for 6 consecutive hours starting 04z.
-
LLJ definitely spends more time over your fanny than ACK.
-
I gave you a number for ORH you clown
-
I mean 80s look pretty good considering the core of the jet isn't forecast to really hammer down until 03-06z there.
-
They had a peak wind gust just after 11 am of 48 knots (55 mph).
-
CWOP in Truro 71 mph
-
Their website has their Davis obs current, but I'm not getting it into AWIPS.
-
Gusting to 40 mph right now, and still have several hours until the worst of it arrives.
-
Inversion is a little stronger than modeled at GYX based off the 18z runs. NAM is probably the closest (a hair stronger than observed) but still rips off a few 35 kt gusts at the office.
-
Starting to see the dunes gusting over 50 knots. I see a 56 kt out there.
-
Given the strength and angle of that LLJ, I feel like Blue Hill is primed to rip off a big gust.
-
Messing around with available guidance I think they have a shot to go over. I'd peg their peak wind gust around 47 knots if I had to pick a number right now.
