Still showing some pretty solid gusts. Actually, I think the 6z GFS may be the strongest in terms of gust potential (just slightly). Showing a few hours with winds at the top of the mixed layer 57-59 knots.
8 AM advisory indicated hurricane force winds extended outwards of up to 105 miles from the center and TS force winds 310 miles. Be curious to see if there is any additional expansion although it's probably likely there will be some. This is a damn impressive field.
I know hockey is a "winter" sport but when I used to go to the bar before Wolf Pack games (which was like a 3 minute walk to the game) I hated the walk in the winter...dreaded it. I remember a few times when they got deeper into the playoffs and had some late April home games walking to the game in warm weather...so much better.
Going to Florida for Christmas (December 23 - 30).
Hopefully it will be good EL Nino climo and there will be some severe chances down there.
Also going to see Rangers @ Panthers December 29. Was hoping Bruins were in Florida but I'll take the Rangers.
My bestfriend/roommate from college got a job on TV in Portland several months back (his second stint in Maine). He's pretty pumped...he's going to get to do live storm coverage. He's gone out in some snowstorms but his first taste with tropical.
maybe its those interpreting the model(s) that are horrendous.
If people didn't wet their pants at 7-10 SLP progs, snow maps, and other eye candy products, expectations would be more in check.
