Rapidly Intesified Storm

One of the lows I mentioned in an earlier post has rapidly intensified off the Jersey coast and is steaming up to New England. Seas built rapidly, in an already agitated state. Buoy 44025 is showing heights and period increase. Wind has switched north, and is starting to blow the swell out to sea...which means it's a wind game now.

This storm came pretty much right over our area, and became quite strong very rapidly. The wind forecast is difficult, but should clock N to W, eventually become more southerly. Timing and intensity is too tough to call- and will vary across the region.

I'm on alert from dawn to dusk tomorrow.
