BlizzardWarning Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Who ever is sitting on the southwest side of this storm is going to get rocked by the piling air that builds between the frontal system and the storm. We're already seeing that with the heavy rains that's forming from the northwest winds along the frontal boundary in eastern P.A. colliding with easterly winds from Sandy.

nzucker Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Who ever is sitting on the southwest side of this storm is going to get rocked by the piling air that builds between the frontal system and the storm. We're already seeing that with the heavy rains that's forming from the northwest winds along the frontal boundary in eastern P.A. colliding with easterly winds from Sandy. I think the heavier rainfall amounts are going to be more widespread than the models show. 18z GFS already pushed much of NJ close to 4" when previously the northern part of the state was only getting like 3" QPF.

Isotherm Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 welcome home. Should be a wild 48 hours for us. I'm considering putting duct tape across my windows that face the south and east just in case they break. Thanks, yeah should be a crazy couple days. Hard to believe this is actually happening - we're about to experience a 1 in 100 year event. 57F and gusting to 25mph here. I see reports of 40+ on the Monmouth coast already. I'm guessing we max out in the 60-70mph range for us inland, probably 75mph at BLM ASOS, and unofficial 80-90mph gusts at the beaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldalex Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 15-20mph sustained here. Just had the biggest gust of the night, measured 30 on the anemometer, probably a little more than that since my anemometer is shielded slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conclue Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 This is the point that Strat747 was trying to make earlier in the sub forum. Long fetch winds and the size of the windfield along with several high tide cycles above normal need to be taken seriously. Good luck everyone and do not under estimate the surge potential with this storm. I was just having this exact discussion with my cousin just now trying to relay this information about this upcoming storm. I'm floored by storm surge projections but I greatly fear they will be far worse. This storm is bigger than Ike was and it was all about the size of Ike that really created that surge. My cousin lives in Rye NY and said that no one there is really worried about surge and he said he was going to take my advice over neighbors. I really have this pit feeling in my stomach this is going to go from a meterologists dream to a unfolding nightmare, especially for NYC. Hoping for the best. So anxious.

cjr231 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Staten Island flooding throughout zone A and into parts of zone b already.

Neblizzard Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 looks like the first rain bands should reach NNJ within the next 3-4 hours. Winds really picking up here in Kenilworth NJ over the last hour... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
