  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.

    Hopefully the worst comes overnight Tue into Wed which would be at low tide. By Wed AM high tide the winds might switch to offshore which would lessen the coastal flood impact quite a bit. 

    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

    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.

    Farmingdale gusted to 44 last hour. Branches were swaying in my backyard but not as bad as before. Cleared up fast however once rain ended. 

    Gusting into 30s now, Maine getting absolutely slammed
