This will not be portentous…Let me enthrall my readers…Winter like conditions for Sunday and Sunday night around the region. Snow and sleet around the Orange county area. Temps around 40 degrees for Sunday. Rain and sleet will begin after 2 pm. Possible accumulation could reach .5 inches in some locals
The Wind tower has been finished and is wind safe! Standing at 46 feet 1 inch tall. The tower is 90 feet from any obstacle. 100 feet of wire was needed. This is a bit smaller then Smith Tower in Newburgh which stands at 60 feet. I think our towers are the tallest in the region as far as ‘home built’ goes.
The equipment we installed to measure the wind is a Oregon Scientific at this location. The highest wind speed this afternoon was measured at 23.7 mph at 57 degrees. When online you will see wind speed every 5 seconds updated. Smith Tower is every second!
This will be online on Sunday.
As the cold front approaches, we will see wind today and showers with nice mild temps.
I will be installing a 40 foot tower today at my home which sits at 457 feet elevation, just a mile from Stewart Airport. Will keep you posted.

I think a East coast storm might brew. This is the time of the year we can see development occur in the Atlantic. If you look back in history, we are in peak time. Hurricanes that form now will typically move quickly to the North and then Northeast. We do of coarse have to keep in mind of cold fronts. Cold fronts play a large role on the way they effect a Hurricanes direction. Without those cold fronts,a Hurricane would have no steering currents. If you are looking for a East coast hit in the middle of Summer, you would want a cold front to bring it up the coast. Of course timing of the cold front is everything. Let’s not forget a Bermuda high. This is another subject!
A fast approaching cold front, would simply push the Hurricane off the coast. You cannot compare a Hurricane to a cold front. Cold fronts are much bigger and generally have much denser air. Hurricanes cannot push a cold front of course. Cold fronts can weaken and steer it to a different direction. The way I see it, cold fronts protect the East coast most of the time. If a Hurricane has some luck, it can sneak in and cause some problems.
