smokeybandit Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 This wind map was posted a year or so ago as a "hey, cool" site. Seems more than a toy this week http://hint.fm/wind/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtracker Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 This is gonna bust wind wise in this area. I'm just not seeing it. Max 50 mph. This 60-70 mph stuff is over blown. The hurricane hunters are having a hard time finding those kinds of winds even on the open ocean. Long Island is going to get it though... 60 mph gusts easy.

nw baltimore wx Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I don't understand that at all. If he is right then great but all signs show it will be pretty bad. He's stressing that the Bay was spared the worst because all week he's been talking about bad it would be if Sandy came up the Chesapeake. He does have a blase attitude though and it sends the wrong message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowpocalypse Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I'm on the upper eastern shore ,will my close proximity to the potential track be a saving grace or will it be bad either way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 He's stressing that the Bay was spared the worst because all week he's been talking about bad it would be if Sandy came up the Chesapeake. He does have a blase attitude though and it sends the wrong message. Yeah, his entire focus is that the surge won't be like Isabel. What he's not highlighting is the difference in winds and rain over the whole area in the other direction as compared to Isabel. Like I said, not saying he is endagering anyone, just think he is missing the bigger picture. Surge like Isabel has been off the table for days and days. Those Walllops Island landfall model runs never had a lot of support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodhi Cove Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 He's stressing that the Bay was spared the worst because all week he's been talking about bad it would be if Sandy came up the Chesapeake. He does have a blase attitude though and it sends the wrong message. When I woke up and turned on channel 11, and thought "wow! Okay, sounds like I'll be driving slowly into work at 4pm." After blinking my way through these pages, I've reverted to last night's thought of "crap, this is getting even fugly-er." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stellarfun Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 The Dover AFB radar shows cumulative precipitation of 16 inches in the lower Chesapeake Bay. http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=dox&product=NTP&overlay=11101111&loop=no That total surely must reflect some spurious feedback?

Don Cherry's Jacket Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Just went out to get the paper. (laugh at my love of a dead tree if you wish, but I'll be laughing when we're all in the dark and your ereader is out of batteries. I'll be reading about this storm that's coming). Anyway, it was raining a good pace, but I was shocked how not windy it is. Not even breezy, just a few rustles of leaves. Very Erie, given what's coming.
