Winds are blowin'

#31 Postby Andido » Sat Sep 02, 2006 12:06 pm

I wish I had an anomometer, cause the winds are just getting worse and worse here in Brooklyn. It rained overnight, but I don't think we got as much as other places did. The remnant low center is still 15 miles southeast of DC according to the Hydrometeorological Prediction Center, and moving north at 10 mph. I saw a report from JFK of wind gusting to 41 mph. It's definitely at least that here, and the radar shows a band streaming in fast into the Jersey shore moving up. This is worse than a storm that was approaching a couple years ago, I think it was Floyd, and that was still a depression when it got here. Almost reminds me of Gloria when it was beginning, but won't quite be that. Still only early September though, things could get interesting here.
For all mid-atlanticers and northward - keep watch on that big swirl in the middle ocean.

They had reported a wind gust of 60 MPH in Cape May, NJ.

That pressure gradient was REALLY STRONG. I wish, however, that we didn't have the high pressure's affect so we could've really seen what Ernesto was all about at this stage of the game.

This was more of the equivalent of a MAJOR Nor'easter with TS force winds. The snow totals would've crippled us! :eek:

Stephanie you are so right!

Didn't it feel like one of those winter storms that approach from the south? IT felt like that to me, waiting all day for the moisture to work its way down to the surface and then it goes all night and day with wind and stuff.

This did not feel like a tropical event at all and it's still cold and miserable and rainy with an east to northeast wind today. ack! Wanted to go to our arts fest here today but it's just too raw out.

this would have been a major blizzard if this was November or December, that's for darn shure!

Winds are still going here between 35 and 45 mph and it is still raining. The humidity is up also. It was cold last night though! And you are right Stephanie, if this were the winter, I'd be digging out right now!!

I was over at the Shinnecock Inlet in Hampton Bays, NY around Noon (the webcam is out :( ). Winds were blowing 30-40mph, gusting to 55, making it necessary to lean into the wind several times. Several surfers were braving the High Surf Advisory put out by the NWS, but the windsurfers had to head for the protected bays. I've uploaded some photos of the crashing waves to my Flickr account.
