965mb Bomb

[B Ozanne]

The forecast is looking good for some amazing winds on the summit of Mount Washington tonight. ETA is predicting a 965mb low off the coast of Maine late tonight. I'm at the Observatory right now and I'll let you know how it plays out.

PS...winds are only 10mph on the summit right now (13:00 EST).

ooo lightning

...weird... we only have 20-25 dbz near us.

We just had to recalibrate our barographs as they just went off the chart. Winds around 100mph now...peak winds not exptected until 4am.

When the upper level front came through this evening temps plummeted. We watched it go from +3 to -6 in about 5 minutes.

New England is on the verge of breaking some all time low pressure records.

I just recorded a gust of 106mph, still several hours out from peak winds.

Our sea level pressure just bottomed at 955mb.

I'm not. I am on the summit of Mount Washington.

Buoy 44029 dropped to 28.02 (~948.9mb) a few hours ago, but hasn't reported since... http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?...p?station=44029

That's a RIDICULOUS low!

109mph on Mount Washington.

 

[B Ozanne]

116mph. To tell you the truth I'm not that impressed...we are kind of wind snobs up here.
