Rain

I was hoping that’s what you were talking about ????

Cat 2 hurricane + Full Moon + High Tide =

 

[BennyV]

All the PBs down to the West are trying to figure out what to do with the storm. Weather forecasts keep switching the wind direction. Pucker factor definitely in effect for some.

Cat 2 hurricane + Full Moon + High Tide =

Cat 2? Where did you see that? Everything I'm seeing has this hitting LI as a TS...maybe a Cat 1 at worst.

HENRI IS NOW A HURRICANE... ...A DANGEROUS STORM SURGE, HURRICANE CONDITIONS, AND FLOODING RAINFALL EXPECTED IN PORTIONS OF THE NORTHEAST UNITED STATES BEGINNING LATE TONIGHT OR EARLY SUNDAY...

 

[Bassmaster]

Surge is the biggest impact

 

[OVERBORED]

Not a meteorologist but I think it will get a ton of energy and hit as a strong cat 1/cat 2.

Hope not.

No sense of urgency in the air. Guess everyone forgot Sandy that wasn't even a hurricane!!!!

 

[Macks]

Flood watch in effect for the entire tri state 3-6 inches of rain is possible from 2pm this afternoon until noon monday

Are you our new weather geek..??

I hope not also.

I pulled the boat early this morning. It's the 3-4 foot surge that has me worried. Don't want to get down to the dock Monday morning to find the boat up in the parking lot with the cleats ripped out.
On a related note I did see about a dozen guys doing the same thing as me at 6:00 am.....I bet you'll see a crush at the ramps this afternoon.
Bring a chair and pack a cooler....should be a complete shitshow.

Finished my "chores" today with a bit of relief as I went from DEFCON2 to DEFCON4 as my buddy Henri decided to go west. He won't rear his ugly head by me until after he's been beached for quite some time...

 

[OVERBORED]

Since you put your boat on drydock, do you leave the plug in or pull it?

During Sandy, boats with plug out sank at drydock. Hope water doesn't get that gifh5

5pm next update

 

[Macks]

The weather ch just said it’s gonna do a south west loop after it crosses Long Island and then head out to the northeast..

 

[Bassmaster]

2 to 4 inches of rain in NYC and 4-8 on long island. 1-3 foot surge New York Harbor and the jersey shore and 3-6 ft surge bronk queens and all of long island

 

[Bassmaster]

Landfall between smithtown and Montauk

Sump pump is ready. Flashlights ready. Cars gassed up. Everything tied down outside.

Quick update. Models have shifted east the last 24 hours. And weaker.

I don’t want to downplay it, but it’s nowhere near as bad as it looked 2-3 days ago.

The landfall zone right now is Hamptons to Block Island and east. I would favor Block Island.

The biggest threat now is flooding rains. 3”-8” widespread.

Things can shift quickly so I will update once more time if I see drastic changes.

In terms of intensity, I don’t see this stronger than a high end Tropical Storm or weak Category 1. Favoring a Tropical Storm at landfall. Sustained winds 50-65mph with gusts to 70-80.
