What’s interesting to me is that this sounding shows the atmosphere is well mixed and there’s no inversion. Notice how the dew point and temperature are very close together near the surface. This means winds will have no trouble mixing down.

Yeah, efficient mixing was what caught my eye on that sounding. That's going to be problematic. And I'm already getting gusts around 40mph here right now currently. We're looking at tomorrow night on that. Yikes.

State of Emergency declared for NYC, Nassau and Suffolk.

This will increase rain totals as largest totals are on SW side of retro low. This could lead to more tree damage as you get the rains plus winds. 

Fully leafed out trees too. 

There's an obvious tradeoff with both a southern and northern track, I just personally enjoy the wind aspect more. Was hoping to get some of the more extreme outcomes depicted by some morning runs, though verbatim this was likely very overdone.

we are fortunate this storm was not even stronger could you imagine if that was a 960 low in that position..

It seemed like an odd decision to postpone Friday evening events with the bulk of the storm off shore till tomorrow AM.  But I would think it's to allow them enough time to break down the stage and equipment before conditions become hazardous to the crews.

That’s the rain coming in.  I just started to measure at my Cherry Grove station.  Highest wind gust today so far 36 mph at 6 pm.
