Hello all,
Very interesting how the current front moved through and is now draped
across eastern NY, associated
precipitation with this front has largely dried up over us (but there's
still moisture associated with this front
back in western NY), and we're now seeing outer bands more associated with
Sandy moving southeast to
northwest back over central NYand over the coming 48 hours that front
that has stalled across eastern
NY will be pushed back to the west by Sandy..and it looks the front
will set up right over us. Never seen
such a set-up quite like it. Birding could be great here in central NY
Wed-Fribirds from the North could
make it to central NY and potential birds associated with Sandy could get
dumped here in central NY.
Winds are expected to stay out of the north until Monday night/Tuesday
morning changing to the east
sometime Tuesday morning. Right now the winds are out of the north but the
precipitation is moving from
the SE to NW. Weird. It's always fun dusting off my meteorological
background, but I'm sure Dave Nicosia
can speak about this set-up better than me. Again, weird stuff. I can see
how this really does fit a hybrid
hurricane/nor'easter. Barometric pressure is down around 951, which i
believe the superstorm of March 93'
was 963 and many hurricanes don't get any lower than the 970's.and the
size of the storm is
enormous!!! Lets hope the birders figure a way of getting through it.
cheers,
Matt
