OT: Hurricane Lee now a Cat 1 hurricane - likely landfall as near Cat 1 in Canada (or maybe far eastern Maine) on 9/16-17

Hookers and blow?

Hookers and blow have been scientifically established to extend life. Aside from the exercise involved and getting that heart rate up, it’s also the most potent anti-depressant known to man, far stronger than therapy and SSRIs.
 
No significant changes overnight as the 0Z models are almost all showing landfall between Downeast Maine and SW Nova Scotia, with the center of the forecast track still grazing the western tip of NS as a ~70 mph storm transitioning to extratropical and slamming into New Brunswick, Canada near Saint John. The surge forecast from last night is the same, but the rainfall forecast was increased, as per below and the updated track guidance is also below. Impacts are about the same as detailed last night, too. This is going to be a very impactful storm for much of central/eastern Maine and most of New Brunswick/Nova Scotia, including well inland. Minor to moderate impacts are likely for the rest of SE New England, except for the higher storm surge for Cape Cod.

Lee continues to weaken and is now down to 85 mph, but the windfield has expanded, meaning the overall power of the storm (the integrated kinetic energy of the entire windfield) hasn't really changed much as hurricane force winds extend out ~100 miles from the storm's center and tropical storm force winds extend out up to 340 miles from the storm's center.

The forecast for when Lee reaches Maine/Canada is largely unchanged, as the storm is expected to have winds of ~70 mph (with hurricane force gusts) when it probably makes landfall on the far western tip of Nova Scotia or just grazes that area on its way to striking New Brunswick Canada a bit NE of there. A Maine landfall is looking unlikely now, although it's still in the cone; however, eastern Maine will still likely be getting 60-70 mph winds, even inland, as will inland areas in NB/NS Canada. This level of winds will likely cause some damage in eastern Maine and NB/NS, including inland, including some downed trees and power outages. Wind damage is a lot less likely in the rest of New England.

The only change to the storm surge forecast was to drop the surge watch for Cape Cod, as the whole New England coast is now forecast to get 1-3 feet of surge, which will likely cause some moderate, but not catastrophic damage, as this is similar to what this area often gets in very strong nor'easters. And the rainfall forecast was reduced for areas in SE MA/NH and western ME with <1" forecast for those areas, except for 1-2" forecast for Cape Cod (the map below doesn't show rainfall <1" for some reason). Rainfall forecasts for eastern Maine and NB/NS Canada are for a general 2-4", including well inland. This amount of rain will definitely produce some flooding, given antecedent saturated conditions.

After all this hot air and tons of meaningless posts, this "hurricane" may make landfall as a glorified thunderstorm.

LOL!
I have a house ocean side on the cape, have used this for positive reinforcement to my wife that there is nothing to worry about despite the nightly news pumping up the threat. Pleased that it is a glorified thunderstorm, and appreciative of the info at my fingertips.

Although these are always a bit overdone, i didn't find these as meaningless as you did.

*Still not happy about his post last bball season that “we were in”, but I can move on from that for now, as long as he doesnt declare us a lock for a bowl.

Would have saved a lot of time using weather.com. Same info, but without delays.

Are you telling this to me or to yourself?

I found this thread very interesting

. I always find #s threads great. Every time there’s a weather issue/ story I come to this board and his thread as I find it’s the most convenient location (for me) to get weather information delivered in a concise way. #s and others provide good info and good links. I don’t have to go searching around - it’s all right there in the thread

You and bac - with your constant immature bitch trolling - are annoying filler that the rest of us must get past

Head your own advice

Based on that logic we could get rid of the CE board and all just read CNN and Fox, we could drop premium and just read ESPN. Maybe no game threads and all just actually watch the games………

This is a forum where people discuss and share things and don’t act like sheep and just follow what the media tells us, and trust me TWC and Weather.com has been hyping this for a least a week.

T2Kplus the media following lamb, go figure….

Great post. There are all kinds of threads I don't post in, because I'm either not interested or don't have much to add, but I don't go into them and troll the folks who are interested in that topic. The crux of it is a few posters just like to troll threads, especially the weather threads. The fascinating thing is I post just about the same info on multiple other message boards and on Facebook (and send to about ~500 folks on my email lists who prefer that over social media) and this board is the only place I get trolled. That tells me it's not me. I'll never really understand trolling, but clearly there are people who just love the attention, even if it's mostly negative attention.

Very little forecast change, so will just include the updated forecast positions/winds and track map. Landfall still looks to be right on the western edge of Nova Scotia or perhaps in New Brunwsick, Canada if the track nudges west a little, as a ~70 mph storm with hurricane force gusts that will be transitioning to an extratropical storm at that time. Maine is out of the woods for landfall, although that doesn't matter much given the very large windfield with the storm - they'll still likely get 60-70 mph winds in eastern Maine (as well as a bit inland in ME/Canada). The surge and rainfall forecasts are very similar to the ones quoted in the post above.

Oh its a bit you, but thats another point 😂😂😂. Happy to see you didnt say the weather for va tech was a lock

Maybe a little, but 99% of the time I get testy is in response to someone else going there first - and yeah, I could ignore more of the crap, but what can I say? I like to argue for sport sometimes.

Anyway, I did say lock it up for VT being gorgeous weather on Sunday night - just never got around to changing the thread title. This game was a pretty easy weather lock, just like NW was and unlike Temple, obviously.

Lee has officially been deemed an extratropical storm, but it still is a a hybrid with some tropical and mostly non-tropical characteristics, but that's just semantics as the storm is still packing Cat 1 hurricane winds of 80 mph. Unlike Sandy, where "hurricane" and "tropical storm" warnings were dropped when the storm was deemed extratropical before landfall, the NHC now still uses those terms so people don't let their guard down (as some did with Sandy as no TS or hurricane watches/warnings were ever posted in NJ/NY, since it was forecast to not be tropical at landfall, yet we obviously had a "hurricane" at landfall) as 70-75 mph winds are still hurricane strength regardless of the designation of the storm.

Lee is located about 90 miles south of the western tip of Nova Scotia (and 240 miles east of Portsmouth, NH), where it will make landfall (near Yarmouth) around noon or so, likely still packing 70-75 mph winds, so hurricane force winds will be very likely in Nova Scotia and 60-70 mph gusts will be likely in Downeast Maine (and inland in both Maine and Canada).

All of coastal New England from RI through Maine has been experiencing TS force wind gusts for several hours, given the huge size of the storm, as TS force winds extend almost 400 miles from the storm's center and hurricane force winds extend 140 miles from the center - hurricane force gusts have already been observed on Nova Scotia. Wind damage could be significant (with downed trees/power lines, some already seen), but not catastrophic, for eastern Maine and New Brunswick/Nova Scotia Canada, even well inland.

Rainfall has been ongoing and is expected to be 1-2" for Cape Cod and an inch or less for the rest of SE New England, but 2-4" of rain is expected for eastern Maine and NB/NS Canada, including well inland, so some flooding is likely in these locations, given the saturated soil conditions. And the storm surge forecast hasn't changed as 1-3 feet of surge producing minor to occasionally moderate coastal flooding is forecast (and ongoing) from LI through Maine and eastern Canada.

As the storm is now well north of our area, coastal impacts are lessening and should be minimal by late tonight. Gameday will still be beautiful with high temps in the mid-70s and breezy conditions (10-15 mph winds) and low dewpoints (around 50F); there will be high clouds through the morning, but cloud cover will lessen through the afternoon and the game will likely be mostly sunny.

You are the most sensitive person on the board (now that AlbanyKnight is gone) and get most hysterical about weather threads. Not complicated.

Every troller needs a willing trollee to make this work. Enjoy the game! Bac said the weather is going to be wonderful.

You run to your friendly mod and get threads deleted when you are on the receiving end. But the same mod encourages you to troll Numbers. You’re the Teacher’s Pet. Congratulations.
