Jmister Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Folks who remain north of the 850/925 center will get it the worst tonight as a surface-based MAUL (Moist Absolutely Unstable Layer) develops. That should allow very efficient transport of momentum to the surface, especially if precip is falling. It looks like along and north of the I-80 corridor for that. Here's what I'm talking about: Interesting....that probably explains the strong gusts we've been seeing near NYC and Allentown even though they lack precipitation.

Jmister Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 So that might affect us? Definitely can't rule it out. I have a feeling our strongest winds are still yet to come and may not get here until after 1-2 am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmister Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Yeah I mean State College, Williamsport, and all those areas further north like csnavywx said.

Itunis Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Yeah I mean State College, Williamsport, and all those areas further north like csnavywx said. And of course, PSU texts everyone that things are back to normal tomorrow. Bold call. Doesn't seem too unreasonable to me, since we seem to be going through the worst of it right now and things should improve by daybreak. It's been nasty outside but the power's stayed on and flooding really isn't much of an issue. Of course as a PSU student I will still complain about it on facebook lol.

I hope this continues. yep....however, i have no idea what to expect from now through overnight. can't get a radar, tried looking on local stations, just can't see? I guess i'm going to bed, whatever happens, happens..if i wake and have power, great,if not, we'll figure it out, ya know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Been calmer for the past 20 minutes, no strong gusts (relatively speaking). I hope this continues. Maybe what I had earlier made it to you. Winds are really cranking here and the roar coming from the ridgetops is unreal. Had a few flickers and dim downs, but somehow we still have power.

sauss06 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Sorry posting from my iPhone if I had to guess 50+ in gusts really windy. now or thats what you had? Damn, i wish i could tell which way this sucker is going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmister Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Jmister is there anything to that curvature coming on the Jersey Shore? Could that have high winds with it? I bet those areas of banding forming off the coast contain very strong wind. Since the storm should be slowing, I am not sure if or when those bands will pivot back to us. If they do, enhanced gusts seem a good bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawatch Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Tonight the wind has picked up...constant 25mph winds with some 40 plus gusts. Currently dry slotted with the rain. Rivers and streams seem in good shape so far. We have had a few flickers with the electric. But no loss of power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
