Wmsptwx Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I was reading that since we are on west side of storm...and 150 miles inland our impacts would be limited a bit. Also further north this goes like canderson stated..the lesser impacts we would feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Based on what? WTF are you talking about? I'm beginning to think Wmsptwx needs to be 5 posted until the storm passes. We have a good sub-forum with good people, but he's quickly becoming annoying with his baseless "forecasts". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also further north this goes like canderson stated..the lesser impacts we would feel. as of now, we will have prolonged winds sustained 35-45 gusts to 60 + 6" rain? edit-besides if it does shift north, we will still be impacted. it would probably have to hit boston for us not to be seriously impacted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmsptwx Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Sorry fellas, I was meaning to have a convo with Canderson, not make anyone mad. I'll just read for awhile...I need to learn some stuff before I try a forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anduril Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Stopped by walmart on the Carlisle Pike earlier to pickup some extra water and a backup flashlight and the place was busy but not packed. However, they were cleaned OUT of flashlights. Seriously, some mini-mags (hell for $7 I picked up a couple) and the big police style maglights. Water was also really picked over so atleast some people are getting the message that it could be bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pawatch Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I'm trying to follow this storm with my iPad instead of my computer. Any must have apps? Anyone who lives near harbor freight they carry led lights and battery value packs reasonable. Looking at the GFS it appears the worst is going to hit Pa. On Tuesday? Gov. Tom Corbett has declared a state of emergency two days before Hurricane Sandy is supposed to hit Pennsylvania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternUSWX Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I am fully expecting 50-70mph winds for basically all of Central PA. Also Rain lot of rain. Full update tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djr5001 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 50-70 sustained? gust maybe... doubt sustained except possibly for far east PA if it makes NJ landfall... Sandy would have to really strengthen to get near hurricane force winds far enough into PA for any of us to experience it... gusts on the other hand with the large wind field likely and interaction with upper level winds could possibly reach that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasternUSWX Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 50-70 sustained? 40-50mph sustained with gust to 70mph. 0Z NAM supports this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djr5001 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 0z NAM is quite a blow for PA... that is a lot of rain in a short period... short term flash flood guidance is around 2-3" for a lot of areas across the state for 1 hour... may be tough to see that... but over several hours small streams will rise rapidly despite being low now... all of that rain with tropical storm type winds is where the most concern for PA lies ***edit: oops yes I meant 0z :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djr5001 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Last year with Irene we had the wind but little rain when thinking tropical system... with remnants of Lee we had an endless plume of tropical moisture that triggered the heavy rainfall in short time periods over a few days that lead to the flooding... Sandy could wind up with wind similar to what we had for Irene mixed with the rainfall from the remnants of Lee... so that is part of why it is considered historic... nothing like this has ever happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jns2183 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I feel it may track north of the official NHC track, which actually scares me more. The LLJ on the SW side is nasty and could lead to higher winds in addition to heavier rain. I very we'll could totally wrong on that, but it is quite interesting compared to normal TC's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
