The 12z GGEM looks similar to the GFS from what I can tell.

Euro has precious little precipitation for much of Connecticut. Kind of hits a wall NE of here.

Euro's a big hit

Yep but different than GFS. GFS gives us our heavier rain Sunday morning to early afternoon, and then lighter rain after that. Euro just brushes us with a little light rain during the day Sunday, and waits until Sunday night to bring in the heavy rain. Obviously we have a long way to go to figure out the details.

That's typical. Euro always seems to be slower

I'd love to see the weenie gust maps for this.

Cmc isn't running on most sites since yesterday for some reason

[wthrmn654]

Wind watches just went up.  Unless I'm mistaken, pretty early to be doing watches or have i lost touch with criteria??

Honestly, that doesn't look all that out of line imo.

 

Edit: didn't see the 72 on jersey lol minus that one of course

[NJwx85]

Not much of an inversion showing up, at least not on the GFS soundings. Should be quite gusty, especially due to tighter pressure gradient in proximity to the high.

[NEG NAO]

the Euro AI is probably closer to reality with amounts

Marina sent out a notice to secure all boats etc.

those dunes they created on some of the beaches in NJ after Sandy will be tested  during this storm because of the added King Tides thing and the Moon thing adding to the levels.........

Aren't most dry docked at this point?  Recreational boating season, except for those fishing, is over I would think.

One thing to keep in mind is that model wind maps are more often than not overdone...I usually deduct 25%

along with some of those precip amounts - this storm center will have a hard time getting past the Del Marva and will probably spin itself out because of the HP blocking it.........

[steve392]

The flooding from the winds shoving everything up ny harbor into the rivers is going to be horrible.  I've already got river flooding at high tide today.

Wind maps are usually fairly close for coastal areas.. anywhere away from coast is a coin toss unless good mixing is achieved

As of last weekend I’d say about 70% of the boats at my marina were still in. This week is a big week for boats to be pulled though. October 15 a big cut off. 
 

mine is coming out first week in November

50% is too much. That would mean winds don’t exceed 25 mph.

A bit tongue in cheek on my part. And I usually mean it only for gusts.

In this case the coast of NJ / SLI could get close to those numbers.  Don't think my area gusts to 50 mph as depicted though.

Big story with this is going to be the coastal impacts.  No joke with a solid 3 high tide cycles with strong onshore flow.  Esp. NJ and to a lesser extent on the LI Sound.

Moderate to major impacts NJ shore and minor to moderate on the sound.  Going to be a costly event I think.  Many homes ocean front and bays were raised or rebuilt on stilts so that will make it better than it would have been.

Not yet. Another few weeks

WPC has notably beefed up totals further north and more inland with the latest issuance.
