October Comes Early: Late September Multi-Hazard Hybrid Storm

[WxWatcher007]

1.56" total so far here @WinterWolf

Looks like the Euro nailed the big rain signal. Wouldn't be surprised if I doubled this total after tonight-Monday.

Took a nice drive through Colt State Park. Didn’t see as much wind damage as I thought I would. 3.5” of rain based on averaging the weather stations in my area (mine is broken/offline )

3. 74 " in the woodyard. Nearly three of it today. Close to 3/4 of an inch an hour rates most of the morning. This blows.

In my defense (lol) that idea kind of worked out. Big rains were confined to a small area, it just happened to be over me. Look at CT. Kev doesn’t even have an inch 

Small area? A large area. Unless it's a hurricane you're not getting an entire state flooded .

CT peeps will get theirs tonight and tomorrow morning

Sure. But that was 76 years ago. Those clearly don't walk through the door often. A good tropical storm could bring inland winds. Outside of that, or the extreme event you mention, it probably ain't happening inland. 

I'm talking about legit 60+ mph frequent gusts, not a wintertime fropa that brings strong but sub-severe gusts. 

Yet you could lop off 20mph from 1950 and it'd still best this. Didn't CON hit 110 ? Lol

Yup…about 1.75” here so far. We’ll see how later today through tomorrow goes.

It’s a good sized area…just say tot we’re completely out to lunch on your take Friday and early yesterday.

-NAO developing…

I’d take the over on slower ejection northeast and more blocking from the NB high. 

Therefore take the over on rainfall totals, where the training has already set up along the coast.

Yes sir…if I double the total so far we will be between 3.5-4.0 inches…which is about where the Euro had my area pegged for.

Did they? Damn  

Nobody is saying this is historic, btw. It's not even top 25 for fall nor'easters probably. It's just a solid storm breaking the monotony.

Absolutely!  That’s the take away.  She’s a looker though…. 

[HoarfrostHubb]

This is pretty unusual for September.   Most of the big fall nor’easters are October or November.  

[HoarfrostHubb]

Blue Hill set a daily record for top wind yesterday. 58mph.     No biggie but it is what it is

7.21

Just keeps coming 

[WxWatcher007]

With a STJ on steroids this winter, there’s going to be an absolute nuke of a storm at some point. 

[Bryan63]

Meh'd our way to just under 7.5" so far.

Have water coming up out of the ground in the basement, damn this ancient house.

More rain than our average snow event in January  Looking at just over 3.5” here and a few good limbs that will undoubtedly need to be tossed!

Fallacious argument. 

The trouble w/ the "ppl are dying!" argument is that it essentially dictates that anything less than death is trivial and not worth discussing.  That is among the most vapid and intellectually lazy rebuttals around.

Can you objectively say these fatalities would not have occurred anyway if there were more reaonsble and less-hyped warnings?

Not every fatality is due to not enough warnings or alerts.  Many ppl will ignore warnings and go out/take risks despite warnings b/c they have become apathetic to the relentless hype.   Some ppl just plain resist authority/being told what to do.  And some do take warnings seriously, stay home, and a tree crashes into their home, causing a fatality.  All the warnings in the world is not going to prevent something like that from happening.

So I would avoid the high-horse, virtue signaling here and understand that more is not always better and things are not a simple 1-1 correlation when it comes to complex societal issues.
 

Que?

Didn’t the 1950 storm happen in November? Seems like an apples to oranges comparison.

Not sure if this type of record keeping exists but would like to see where this storm ranks in terms of September nor’easters. Probably hard to track that given the number or remnant tropical, subtropical, and hybrid systems there are this time of year.

I feel like most official forecasts were within reason. It’s the social media clickbait posting 90 MPH gusts on the RRFS-A that kind of leak into the “hype” narrative here…

Will be a memorable storm for many just based on rainfall.
