  1. The robust southwest convection might favor center relocation there and a more likely FL hit. Central dense overcast seems to be developing. Or not, I don't know anything, I just post what I feel until someone tells me why I'm wrong. I'm trying though.
  2. Looking pretty spicy now... oooh. Nice concentrated center to the southwest. Undeniable organization and strengthening happening.
  3. I'm thinking a path kinda like Matthew until it gets picked up in the current between the trough and ridge. SC landfall. Looking a little better organized. Tonight could get really interesting with all the bathwater it's sitting on. If it can stay organized enough to exclude all the dry low-level air in front of it, anyway.
  4. I think it'll hug near the coast and stay offshore. We've seen that kind of behavior before. The convection fires up over the ocean, so the center gets pulled to it, at least that's my interpretation of what happens.
  5. The shear has relaxed a bit in front of it and the forecasts look favorable for muted upper-level shear where it's likely to be this weekend. Shear further relaxes Monday.
  6. Absolutely pissing rain. Total FF stuff. The entire sky is condensing on my head.
  7. CTC each and every second. I hate to look at my phone unless I miss something. WOW!
  8. I forgot about the thread here. Lots of lightning looking westward, getting ready for the 2 AM wakeup thunder.
  9. Lightning pouring out of the cells encroaching from Pennsylvania, flashes every few seconds here in Piscataway. Heavy echoes on radar. Hunterdon County getting a crush job and I have to think I'm getting a late night taste.
  10. Just tons of time left for any number of solutions. I haven't seen a lot of talk about potential future interaction with the trough over the eastern U.S. A few models did have some kind of capture and a crash into the Carolinas.
  11. As an Oriole diehard I am both amused and incredibly triggered.
  12. I think rainfall will be relatively muted for a TC. The models have the storm screaming up the coast. Just not enough time for bigger rains.
  13. Looking pretty solid right now. One thing about the potential storm surge into LI is that many of these models think this thing is going to be absolutely flying up the coast. From what I've read the higher the forward speed, the higher the storm surge height, but the less overall land mass that gets flooded.
  14. What kind of interaction might it have with that deep trough? It might just get captured.
  15. There's a lot of sheer over the east coast and coastal waters. Something to watch
  16. The relative consistency of the Euro is becoming concerning. EDIT: to clarify, the track. I hate myself for asking this but there's no chance of blocking and a Sandy event is there? We have had some unusual flow patterns this summer, cutoff and retrograding lows.
  17. That seems to imply an exceedingly small storm, would think with baroclinic forcing at this latitude the wind field would be broader and the region of max gusts wouldn't have such a tight gradient.
  18. 93/71 with a breeze doesn't feel all that bad. can't tell if i am adjusting to our new climate norms or my brain is just hopeful that heat stroke will bring it sweet release from the endless horrorshow that is 2020. the important thing is i got fresh cold peaches and plums in the fridge so there's still something to look forward to.
  19. This is incredibly heavy rain and it's been going on for a while now too. Looking at the radar it's like there was some convergence between the outflow ahead of the line and the outflow from the storms to the north, and the first cell popped over Middlesex. Now the rest of the line is consolidating with it. It's very dark outside, fairly gusty, but wow the rain is nuts. Major street flooding.
  20. Saw a few pieces of hail up to nickel size. Based on the sirens I'm assuming some of those bolts found a target. Might've gotten a few on video.
  21. Maybe every 2ish seconds. Someone's boat is getting serious rain. Edit: this thing is lighting up. Wow!
  22. Looking WSW from Piscataway some cloud is throwing regular lightning every 5ish seconds. Must be tiny because I hardly see anything on radar but it's there.
