Still a very strong storm
Look at our storm center as of a few hours ago. Yikes! Very strong center of circulation. Translating to some extremely strong winds on the backside of this system.
In fact, a weather buoy that sits just east of Nantucket measured an atmospheric pressure of 28.48 inches this morning!! That is a pressure level associated with a category 3 hurricane! And this mornings pressure level was just a mere 3/10ths away from an all time record in low pressure at that buoy.
Impressive stuff here. This one will go down in the record books for sure.
