I think this hurricane is going to GIVE UP soon.....after all it is FRENCH

Steady rain here. No wind.

Storm is by Block Island and weak. Barely a tropical storm.

It was clear on Friday this storm was not going to be a big LI impact. By yesterday it was almost certain but the media created mass panic.

We dodged a bullet. 3 days ago models had a legit category 2 into central LI.

Steady rain here. No wind.

It’s over. Storm is past Block Island and weakening.

 

[ag3]

Just some rain now. Winds won’t be an issue. The very east end of LI has some winds. 40-50mph. That’s it.

 

[ag3]

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.

This verified. We got lucky because 3 days ago this looked like a major issue for LI.

Thankfully the models backed off Friday and yesterday. Not sure why the media and nhc kept staying with a hurricane and LI landfall.

It was clear that wasn’t happening from Friday night and especially yesterday.

ChinaCat, where in HB are you?

What? No. City won’t see any winds. LI 40-50mph winds max on the east end. With maybe a gust to 60.

This storm was a bust. But that was clear from Friday. Missed NY and landfall is in RI as a weakening tropical storm.

It’s not a hurricane and hasn’t been since last night. It’s a weakening tropical storm. Max winds are 65mph right now and weakening as it heads for landfall in Rhode Island.

I’m more upset at the NHC. They should have dropped all hurricane warnings yesterday morning and all tropical storm warnings west of the east end.

They see the same models I see and it was clear from Friday night that this was a nothing storm.

Rain and surge will be the main impacts. The surge is for the entire sound into the bronk 3-5 ft surge
