Very gusty at home but noticeably less in leominster but still windy.. people were wild in the stores yesterday hopefully they all stay home today to.make my day easy.. I dread working the day before we get a legit hurricane up here if everyone went nuts just over this but it would be worth it i guess. 

Worth it?  You might think differently when you do not have power for a month!

Doesn't matter much, he confirmed last night what was long suspected. None of the data is near accurate.

All my data is dead nuts on. Those that have weather stations understand . You don’t have one in your little wood pit there so you make stuff up and lash out at those that appreciate official data and science

I bust his balls, but wind is definitely the most difficult common weather variable for home weather stations to get sited accurately. Most people have trees or can’t get the anny on the roof.

I’m sure 10mph on his deck surrounded by oaks probably translates to 30-40mph. Maybe we can get a bumper crop of lantern flies and gypsies next year to take his oaks down. 

Definitely gusted 50-55 all over this area in the hilly terrain

When I said “weenie” Wellfleet site I didn’t mean it was wrong or incorrectly sited. Just that it’s in a perfect elevated spot to maximize wind. They’re the peak wind in a lot of events.

The one on Block Island is on a bluff too (Mohegan Bluffs) but I’m not aware of any elevation there near 150ft. Maybe there is and I’ll eat my hat. 

Got it!  Recall the G113 mph Oct 2021!?

5.84. Most impressive rain event in my 8 years at my current local 

[Lava Rock]

0.12" overnight, trees barely moving.  Might finish with more than 1/2".

Very disappointing but not surprising. Same old song and dance

1.2” event total so far.   
tons of leaves and small branches down in my yard.  
town social media page has had lots of pictures of trees down.  We lost power for about 3 minutes once.

Good storm for this time of year for sure. You never see 50kts in September from a coastal. Looks like back areas will have over 8” rain by later tomorrow. Probably from Wareham to Desperate Housewives.

It about time you fess up and admit it is BIG, esp.for Sep.  What was I saying for DAYZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ?    The signal was there and climo anomaly alone spoke volumes, not just the the low, but with the high to the N!

[vortex95]

Is the 6.47" report in New Bedford legit?

[Brian5671]

Still gusting to 50 here.  Rain about 1 inch for the event with another day to go.

[SJonesWX]

less than 1/2” rain so far with very little wind. Yawn

Oh I don't even use mine for wind. it sits about 6ft above the roof ridge and it still underestimates by over 50%. I'm guessing trees and roof turbulence. I do have a handheld but you need to be in an open area like a field or beach.

Could also be an issue with the device itself but I haven't bothered to inspect it after I installed. 

I have 120 foot king pines around me and mine sits on a pole at the peak of the room as well.  I would give it a 1:3 ratio as well. We are up to almost 1" for the event.

Well see. This is remarkably pedestrian thus far

This is going about as I thought here. Rain is banded and just misery mist for the most part. Winds are mediocre.

Not being a Debbie, I just didn’t think this would end up as as a mid or upper tier event here, and it hasn’t.

0.58 and peak gust of 21.7 mph, we’ll never forget this one

2.26. Looks like we dry for a while. See if we can’t add some more, but looks more showery moving forward.

Classic tblizz. Already in midseason form unlike our slacker football team that won’t play in the preseason. Don’t ever change.

[CoastalWx]

Radar woefully underestimated the small droplet stuff. Even in downpours the drops are not large, just heavy.

I’m fairly certain that area maybe just north and east has near 7”

Neighobring station here is now at 6.24".   So, I"ll see reasonably so

[Baroclinic Zone]

Over 5”

Warm process rain here.  Noted SNE 1000-500 thickness 568 now and that's high for a nor'easter this strong.  Also, a small amount of CAPE which enhances warm process rain.

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

6.03

[SouthCoastMA]

Just hit 5".

Looks like a break after this

[Damage In Tolland]

Up to .79 wind with brightening skies

lol hot take

58/57 and about as breezy as it ever gets in this wind hole

[CoastalWx]

It’s just sheets of rain blowing sideways. Still windy. Impressive.

[EastonSN+]

Happy the power outages were not as many as expected. Did not lose any branches.

[tavwtby]

gauge at the house reading.63", and wife says nothing spectacular as far as wind, stations around my area saw maybe a few 30+ gusts, meh, it was legit windier on Wed before I left 

[CoastalWx]

6z euro had another 4-5”  on its run. Obviously a chunk of that happened already but still.

Wow, you tripled up my totals.  Not even .40” here.

Brattleboro, .10? Last hour it has been heavier off and on, so maybe .25 now. No rain gauge, going on KEEN totals. Not much in the way of wind.
