Barry Remnants Gusts, Pressures

UPDATE:Buoy 41025 off Cape Hatteras has reported waves of 18 feet.

ORIGINAL POST:

Here's an overview of the wind gusts and low pressures we've seen so far with Tropical Storm Barry or his remnants. Not surprisingly, the highest winds north of Florida have been from the official NOAA station at Cape Hatteras (KHSE), which has gusted to 45 mph this morning. Outside of that, I haven't seen any stations much above 30 mph. Tropical Storm Barry was so exciting (NOT) that the AP took the photo shown at right (CAPTION: Strong winds blow palm trees around on the beach at Hollywood, Fla.

Overall when Barry approached Florida yesterday, gusts were generally in the 40-45 knot (mph) range.

I have saved off a copy of the most impressive buoy and coastal observations Yesterday In Florida and Today in the Southeast.

Pressure-wise, the lowest unofficial I saw was 29.18" at AS620. I always remind people however that pressure is notoriously inaccurate on amateur stations. Officially, stations are sparse on the South Carolina coast, but KCHS reported 29.31".

At left is what the storm looked like at 11 AM this morning, from AccuWeather.com RadarPlus, showing radar, satellite, winds and pressure. Rain has been spread into the Virginias. Note the strong thunderstorms that the system is fueling on its fringes in New York and Ohio. According to our Breaking Weather News Page (PREMIUM | PRO), what's left of TS Barry will continue to cause heavy rain, moderate winds, and rip currents on the East Coast through tonight.
