18z gfs ai still doing is loop over Montauk. Not doing what the rgem or nam did. 

makes sense in a way-the meso's are wrapping it up more where as the less resolution globals arent-a weak storm is likely to get further north

Coastal flood products are just being issued watches and stuff.

Good thing the rain comes in waves instead of a continuous downpour. Will help with flooding.

Like a tropical system with banding.

Have to get some clarification on why there issuing watches for only minor flooding forecasts based on what they just issued,  watches criteria is when moderate to major flooding is forecast within certain amount of time.

Looks like nothing burger according to NWS forecast for NW Jersey. But most likely, JCP&L's grid will take a shit and I'll lose power. With them here, if a squirrel farts we lose power on a sunny calm day.

Winds will be decently strong inland. If this was January there would be blizzard warnings.

People are greatly underestimating how destructive this will be for the coast.

Comparing it to December 1992 or Sandy is utter BS though.

No reason to compare it to the GOAT of noreasters though.

58mph I had to look up again

Why do they use these silly crooked numbers? Is it because of archaic and antiquated knots? Either switch to the metric system or use actual miles. Same goes for the Saffir Simpson scale since advisories are issued in 5 mph increments anyway why is a tropical storm 39 mph and a hurricane 74 mph and some of those category thresholds are messed up too.

Reminds me of December 1992 except this is stronger.

Then you dont remember December 1992 that was the Michael Jordan of noreasters and we'll never see anything like that ever again. Three days of heavy rain hurricane force winds and parts of all five boroughs and coastal new Jersey under water and people trapped in Manhattan skyscrapers. In some ways it was worse than Sandy and was definitely worse than the March 1993 superstorm. Three feet of snow away from the coast too.
