Euro doing loops

Aren't gusts to 55 mph high wind criteria?

There are coastal flood watches and coastal flood advisories for southern Nassau County and i thin south western Suffolk county issued last night. Highly expect more watches/ advisories to be issued very shortly for more areas. 

Thank you.

Maybe the rrfs isn't on crack lol

58mph I had to look up again

12z First time the gefs ensembles are tightly clustered.

Can you do 10m winds?

Can’t remember where I read it but the rrfs tends to over model the convective area by some crazy percentage like 50%. The rrfs-A is supposed to correct that excessive modeling.

starting to see a consensus over all of a loop south of LI

I kinda hate the 10m wind products

[NJwx85]

New run coming out now. This was 12z.

[Rjay]

925mb winds

I agree the specific REFS scenario should be largely dismissed, though the idea of a westward turn occurring fairly far south near southern NJ and the Delmarva has merit IMHO.

The REFS (RRFS ensemble) has a lot of value and so far I have barely seen anyone mentioning it.  Probably because the site with REFS graphics seems to be a pretty well kept secret: https://sites.gsl.noaa.gov/desi/

The images I posted below show probability of 58 mph wind gusts (HWW criteria) at 42, 54 and 60 hours from the most recent REFS run (15z).  Based on this I think a HWW would be well justified for the south shore of LI as well as eastern Suffolk, perhaps even into se CT. 

I also added the MSLP and 850 mb wind forecasts from the REFS at 60 hours, showing the mean places the storm well north of the RRFS operational.
