  1. The reasoning behind the high wind warning and wind advisory. The main key feature is a low level jet maximum of near 100 kt that develops this evening at a height of around 4-8 kft. Model sounding BUFKIT profiles do not depict a strong inversion, as the thermal profiles appear to be close to isothermal. Winds just 1-2kft above the surface are shown to reach 50-60 kt across the coastal areas and with the heavy rain and aforementioned thermal profiles, much of this should get mixed down to the surface through downward momentum transport. The timeframe for this generally after 02Z Wednesday and before 09Z Wednesday for Western Long Island and New Haven CT west. The timeframe for this to the east generally after 03Z Wednesday and before 10Z Wednesday. Also, coinciding with this timeframe will be tremendous increase vertically with omega and the total southerly flow extending throughout the troposphere will increase the PWATS to well above 90th percentile climatology values. Models still conveying PWAT values near 1.4 inches maximum overnight into the coastal parts of the region.
  2. Upton thinks it won’t matter * SHORELINE IMPACTS...Large breaking waves of 15 to 20 ft along the oceanfront will result in widespread dune erosion and damage to dune structures. Scattered overwashes are expected, resulting in some flooding of roadways and vulnerable structures behind protective dunes. Isolated breaches or inundation of the barrier island is possible where dune structures have been severely compromised by previous storms. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Peak surge of 4 to 5 ft will likely be between times of high tide Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning. Tidal piling will likely inhibit the recession of water before the Wednesday AM high tide, which could cause locally major flooding for area from Freeport eastward. Of particular concern are areas along the eastern Great South Bay from Lindenhurst to Mastic and along the bay side of Fire Island, where west to southwest gale winds may pile waters Wednesday morning into afternoon along with 2 to 3 ft of wave action. Residents in vulnerable communities should prepare for the potential of major coastal flooding (3ft of inundation above ground). PRECAUTIONARY
  3. Upton SE winds will increase through the day Tuesday with the strongest winds expected Tuesday night. The low level jet that is modeled is concerning with around 95-100 kt between about 4-5 kft. These winds are well above an inversion, but winds around 1-2ft are quite strong around 50-70kt when the jet peaks overhead. A model consensus has the peak of the low level jet and winds over the area between 03-09z from west to east. The highest winds are still expected near the coast with gusts around 60 mph (in the High Wind Warning). Gusts 45- 55 mph are expected in the wind advisory area away from the immediate coast. Sustained winds could reach 25-35 mph at times Tuesday night. The peak of the winds may occur in just a few hours coinciding with the passage of the low level jet, 10pm-1am north and west of the city, 11pm-2am in the NYC metro, 12am-4am Long Island and Southern CT. Once the front and winds shift more to the S and SW, winds should weaken, which is expected to occur before day break Wednesday. It will then remain breezy on Wednesday with gusts 25-35 mph possible.
