Most of SK is out here. Trees down everywhere. But this board is very much like that, if it doesn't happen to them they don't give a bleep.

WxWatcher007 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Hard to not be IMBY centric when most of our passion for wx comes from experiencing it. It's just something to live with here. But on a global scale, winds fell short. Decaying TCs are like that. I thought the duration of the event would compensate for the weakening but it didn't in the wind category. Rain TBD for some areas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they do care, but they are speaking from their experience, and making the only local observations they can. It's pretty easy to see that this event was on the lower end of the envelope of predictions, though still reasonably well forecast. No one thinks there aren't some places with more severe impacts. The storm is just very very small, and the impacts from wind in particular are more limited than many forecasts. The drum is always beaten about not being obsessed with the exact point of landfall due to widespread effect. This makes sense before an event due to uncertainty. As it's unfolding though, it's clear that the western part of ri for instance had far far more damage than the entire east bay. We are talking a few miles. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not very knowledgeable on the South Coast I walked along the Cliff Walk this morning. Seas were pretty angry. Prolly had a few gusts in the 50's.

It had a shot to intensify yesterday too and never really did so. funny how some surprisingly intensify and some don't even though they're expected to. Once this didn't get to 85-90Mph and coupled with the well east landfall (vs Central LI let's say) it was over for many as far as the wind threat.

bristolri_wx Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Man, look at this historical track on Henri… he was never strong and confident. From the beginning he was drunk after leaving the club in Bermuda, wandering around looking for a food truck, and accidentally ended up in Westerly, RI. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
