And hold on, global models like the Euro use the USA's balloon data? Why was the Euro paywalled then if they were using taxpayer funded initialization data?

good question - do we share with other countries models our data ? how does that all work ?

Quite windy out here already but not expecting much rain today. Hrrr and nam are under .25" west of 95 through tonight

Would just be a continuation of every event underperforming, if it does turn out that way. Been going on for awhile now .

Received .16" rainfall 8am yesterday to 8am today.  Periods of light rain, mist and drizzle began early yesterday afternoon and persisted up until the hours around mid-night.

Currently just cloudy.  Winds light.  Perhaps 10-15 mph at times.

This event always was and will be a bigger deal at the coast.  Not a joke down there.  Going to be moderate to locally major coastal flooding,  beach erosion etc.  Winds gusting to 60 mph+ ocean front seem likely.  My expectations for rainfall up this way have come down.  Was thinking along the lines of 1 to 1.5".  That seems quite unlikely at this point.  Main event is NJ / LI coast with long duration onshore flow, strong winds and coastal flooding / erosion.  Wind issues along the coast as well with power outages / tree damage.   This will be a big deal for coastal locations.  Would not underestimate effects for those locations.

Inland west of I-95 don't envision wind gusts much over 30 mph.

The rain has now reached @LibertyBell

The event has officially begun

No it hasn't lol.  To be fair, it was raining here Friday night and Saturday morning pretty heavily.  So that's when the event begun.  Then it stopped lol.  I'm expecting the rain to start up again sometime after 2 pm lol.

Why is Fox News comparing this to Sandy? Are they insane? 
 

a much better comparison might be a much reduced version of Halloween 1991 aka the Perfect Storm.  Especially if this is much more about winds and not about rain.

To be fair, Sandy was also more about winds rather than rain, but at least we got over an inch of rain with Sandy.  With Halloween 1991 it was less than half an inch.

It looks like it has just reached you on radar unless you're farther from the water than I thought

3 hours til high tide on my part of barnegat bay.   Lower roads are already all caving quickly.  This may overperform.   Im getting consistent gusts to 45 now in this band.  If this intensity is consistent until tomorrow's high around 4PM, we may have significant flooding damage in the 2nd flood zone tier for our town.  This would affect nearly 400 homes that were not raised after Sandy.

Hopefully, the flooding won't be so bad that it would affect the unraised homes.
