Yeah, looks horrible. Lol. Nice spin still though.

This discussion explained why

Also Jose giving us well above normal night.

Also that northern Jet stream is in Canada right now looks to dig down at the end of the month. (Chilly airmass returns?) I hope. Getting annoyed now at this ridge. Lol

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New York NY
557 PM EDT Mon Sep 18 2017

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
High pressure will begin to retreat to the north this evening as
tropical cyclone Jose approaches from the south. As the pressure
gradient increases between Jose and the departing high, winds will
gradually increase through the night, primarily across eastern Long
Island and far southeastern Connecticut. With plenty of cloud cover,
overnight lows will only fall into the mid 60s, about 5-10 degrees
above normal for this time of year.

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Tropical cyclone Jose remains the focus of the forecast through
Wednesday. Models and the official NHC forecast continue to track
Jose north and east along the Mid Atlantic coast, eventually passing
near the 40N/70W benchmark by Wednesday morning. With the wind field
not expected to expand as far west much as previously forecast,
Nassau, southern Westchester, and southern Fairfield counties have
been removed from the Tropical Storm Watch..

In terms of sensible weather, northeasterly winds continue to
increase through the day on Tuesday, with the highest winds and
strongest gusts expected across eastern Long Island and southeastern
Connecticut Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. At the same time,
rain will overspread the area beginning during the day on Tuesday
and continuing through the night before tapering off Wednesday
afternoon. Several high resolution models are depicting the initial
outer rain bands of Jose rotating through the area around daybreak
Tuesday morning before the focus of the most persistent rainfall
shifts to the eastern portion of the region closer to the center of
the storm. It is important to note that tropical storm force winds
and associated impacts extend well beyond the center of the storm.

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
On the large scale, a very persistent pattern remains with a very
large upper level ridge aloft across the Eastern US. The upper level
jet remains well within the interior parts of Southeast Canada.
Hence, the airmass remains mild and tropical in nature. At the
surface, not much movement essentially in terms of high and low
pressure centers, with Jose exhibiting eventual post tropical
characteristics late this week into the weekend while slowing down
in movement. It is forecast to meander in the Atlantic waters
southeast of the region.

Just looked at the radar map... nothing. Not even off the coast..Not even worth a post. Lol. Lets see if it changes in the morning.

[Cambium]

2-6am Radar loop. Nice banding formed off the ocean and rotating in.


Looks like New Haven county is first to get the rains in CT


Center of Cat 1 hurricane Jose is approaching Virginia Latitude.


Winds from the NE. Shown here are the gust reports. Not much. Each long line in the flag = 10mph. Short line = 5mph.

Neat ride this morning.. 70°F

on the left was Hurricane Jose clouds and apparently a rain band while blue skies to the NW







From Merritt going north.. rain band on the right







How about in motion last 4 hrs. 6-10am this morning as the sun rises.


Center of Jose still ~300 miles off Virginia but you can see the rain bands rotating into NJ, NY, CT, RI, MA now. Winds are from the Northeast, will pick up to 25mph+ later.

Nice day today! My favorite weather, cloudy , warm but breezy and no rain. You can sense the tropical system in the air

[Cambium]

And temps near 70°. Very Fall like with Northeast winds and a coastal storm. Jose is drinking right about now, ready to slow down and do a loopdy doop. lol





And here is who's reporting what with surface wind direction. Lightly raining on Long Island. Nothing here yet. Crickets are out.

[Cambium]

Rain rotating in now. Nice breeze

[Cambium]

Jose has 2 distinctive rain bands. lol. Poor thing. Only 0.09" so far here. More over Long Island though.


Cloud edge only to Lower Hudson Valley


1:30-5:30pm loop

I'm here by the Berlin/Newington town line. Had a few drops after 2 pm, but not quite enough to open the umbrella. Since then, it only looks like ground is damp, not drenched by any means.
