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?

[Nibor]

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.

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.

Okx forecast discussion still not buying into warnings for winds outside of possibly  the twin forks

they have an advisory up for all of LI and CT shoreline and NYC
