NYC Weather Lover Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Hurricane Arthur is way underhyped locally. The entire coast should be raked with rain, including NYC. Cape Cod might see a direct LF. AGREED. This is a hurricane we're talking about. On the east coast. Threatening our area (with indirect impacts, of course). And I thought this would be overhyped.

JSantanaNYC Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I'm very impressed with the media not talking about this that much. Seems like the government prohibited them to hyped this Hurricane.. because of its implications towards the economy in the east coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoSki14 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I wonder if this can pull an Alex and strengthen as it continues to move off to the NE, it's actually starting to look really good on satellite despite landfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure we're at max intensity. Extra tropical transition should start quickly once it's off the Outer Banks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extra tropical transition should start quickly once it's off the Outer Banks. Weakening but by how much? I would guesstimate this maintains itself pretty far north.

Extra tropical transition should start quickly once it's off the Outer Banks. I agree it should start transitioning to an ET system as it heads NE but it's also accelerating and should pass over or near ACK as a minimal Hurricane and make a probable direct hit on NS as a strong ET system.

Yeah I think you're right.....Very rare that you see on radar a hurricane coming up the coast , to pass fairly close to us, and not much mention of it !

The trough interaction should keep it as a strong storm even if not tropical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsentropicLift Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 yup, starting to hear rumbles of thunder and seeing dark clouds to the south.. is this technically part of Arthur's outer rain band??

N. OF PIKE Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I am shocked how quiet the media is outside TWC about Arthur .......we saw the economy tank last winter (because it snowed and was cold) so I guess they didn't want to hamper spending/activities. And honestly outside of the Cape and maybe se/e mass E long island it's probably no big deal...except high surf and a breeze...and some hvy pockets of rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Raining moderately here in Long Beach. The rain should only last a couple of hours though, as the rain is already backing out of southern NJ. Clearing should follow quickly behind it. I'm pretty sure we have a mostly clear sky for sunset at least for places outside of eastern Suffolk.

RutgersWx92 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I believe it was the earliest recorded landfalling hurricane in NC which is pretty impressiveYup. The Outer Banks seemed they dodged a bullet overall though with only minimal damage. The fact that it hit during low tide, was fast-moving, and a relatively small storm, all helped to lessen the impacts I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewave Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I believe it was the earliest recorded landfalling hurricane in NC which is pretty impressive Yeah, they were able to beat the early records of Bertha in 1996 and the July 1901 hurricane. It was pretty cool that this developed from a non-tropical low that moved off the SC coast. TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL 800 AM EDT FRI JUN 27 2014 For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: A non-tropical area of low pressure over South Carolina is expected to move offshore of the southeastern United States this weekend. Some development of this system is possible while it lingers off the southeastern coast of the United States early next week. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent. * Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percen http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/tcfaq/E23.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbenedet Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 East end of LI is getting pounded with heavy rain. Some really impressive radar returns out there. Mind you this is also more significant than usual due to all the people who flock to the Hamptons etc. for the holiday...At least tomorrow and Sunday will be beautiful. Perhaps many out there will just shift their holiday plans to tomorrow. http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=OKX&product=NCR&overlay=11101111&loop=yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
