Not much going on right now and we are still guarded about a developing storm for late in the week. Presently, most models are developing a doozie offshore and that exact location of development is still up in the air but cyclogeneis and rapid intensification still appears to be pretty far out there. None the less we will still feel some effects and for some there is potential for a sizable Noreaster type storm. I am most concerned for the Cape and the Islands...closest to the cyclones center. It still appears that the height of the storm will be Friday morning that is when the northern stream storm begins the phasing process with the southern stream...the system goes negative and cuts off aloft and large pressure falls occur at the surface, bottoming out between 980-990mb...pretty low. With pressure that low and a strong high to our west, the pressure gradient force has me concerned for damaging wind gusts mainly along the coastline. BUFKIT soundings show sustained winds over 30mph and with the low stacking up through the atmosphere wind will transfer down to the surface with the potential to gust over 5 0 mph!!! Believe me, I'm not an alarmist and I don't like to throw out numbers this far in advance but Friday morning on the Cape and Islands could be a rough one!
