It’s coming

I need hurricanes at this point. Just one or two, but preferably three.

Don’t worry. In a just a few short months we’ll be sitting in 40pg threads tracking a 1-3” clipper.

Funny thing is, if 1888 or 1938 happened again this place would be on fire with mehing, complaining, complaining about the complaining, and strife. I mean RI got a historic blizzard and pages of the thread were filled with all out warfare accordion man.

It’s a coastal rainstorm in September. Who is truly invested in this outside of the usual weenies? We can’t talk about weather around here?

Big Island may be in trouble again…

Looks wet on both models Saturday and Sunday, though not as bad as southern New England. Here's Saturday morning through early Monday afternoon: GFS Euro The exact specifics aren't really worth locking onto, just that the "trend" has been toward a closer approach of the storm and rainier weekend as a result for your purposes.

So much of this stuff depends on location and expectations. 925mb 18z GFS 12z Euro I'm not ready to post the Nammy but it was robust too.

He gone.

Yep. Still a long way to go with this one.

lol if this coastal became a DC hit people would lose it.

They don’t seem to like pulling the trigger north of the Carolinas. And if they did some people would probably call it hype lol.

I mean, we do want our weenie models to show big hits. Drunken runs of 970mb lows ripping down all the vegetation from the cape to the Hudson valley.

What a beaut. Third C5 of the season in the basin.

Ah, all good.

Euro and EPS. AI Euro and its ensembles. GDM and its ensembles. That’s a pretty good consensus but far from a slam dunk at this stage.

It’s in the envelope of possibilities, but man, it’s really on an island right now.

Eastern SNE gets hit good up to Maine. Not much elsewhere. But it is further west from earlier runs.

Oof, yeah that would be a problem.

If the Euro and others are right about the track, there could be some serious coastal erosion.

Yeah, as we get into high-res range, we may see some big totals forecasted. A more organized system meandering west with dynamic bands could create some serious localized flash flood issues.

I started a thread for posterity. This looks like it's going to be pretty impactful.
