'Noreaster Noel whipped past New England Saturday, bringing coastal flooding, heavy rains up to four inches, and numerous reports of downed trees and power lines. The top wind gust in the U.S. was 89 mph at Barnstable on Cape Cod. The highest sustained winds were measured on Nantucket Island--56 mph, gusting to 72. The highest wind gusts in Maine were 64 mph measured at Brooklin and Cutler. Acadia National Park had one of the highest rain fall totals, 4.2 inches, and up to three inches of snow was recorded in northwestern Maine. At the storm's peak, 43,000 people lost power in Massachusetts.
Huge waves up to 34 feet high were measured in Halifax Harbor in Nova Scotia, and waves up to 46 feet high were measured at the Georgian Bank buoy midway between Cape Cod and Nova Scotia. Top winds in Nova Scotia were 50 mph, gusting to 62 mph, measured at Brier Island between 4am and 6am this morning. The 'Noreaster is over the Gulf of St. Lawrence this morning, with a central pressure of 970 mb and sustained winds near 50 mph. The storm knocked out power to over 150,000 people in Nova Scotia.

Near-tropical depression hits Nicaragua and Honduras
A region of disturbed weather that was the southern portion of Hurricane Noel's rainy regime acquired a spin of its own, almost became a tropical depression, and has now moved inland near the Nicaragua/Honduras border. This disturbance (91L) is generating rains of up to three inches every six hours (Figure 1). Total rain rain amounts of 5-10 are possible in Nicaragua and Honduras along the path of 91L, which could cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides.
I'll have an update Monday morning.

No big hits this year but ended the season at a 19 year low for sand. Caught in the gradent between highs up north & 'canes down south, with a handfull of invests/depressions come through.
The remnants of hurricane Noel passed just east of us this afternoon. Narragansett Bay experienced sustained winds over 40 mph with gusts over 60 mph. Most sailors got their boats to safe harbor, but some were not so fortunate. Five boats broke free of their moorings in Dutch Harbor. Four of them ended up on the rocks.

Shear in the Caribbean is low.
The gulf has cool by me....70 degrees!!!! Yikes that is cool for me
That is cool, and if you add in the air temps (what, low to mid seventies) it's not exactly surf weather, huh?
My daughter (the schoolmarm) had a low tire alert and of course Ddy had to leave a great rerun on the eyelids to get her on the road. I was gonna get a few more ZZZZ's ugh.
It's time to pull out the stinking rubbersuit --which in my book reduces the pleasure greatly....oh well better safe then sorry
You're a smart lady. More people have died of hypothermia than straight drowning, and water immersion is one of the fastest forms of it.
I think so, Flood. There's some vorticity there, too.
"Mariah" has arrived.
Probably 91 remnants, and yes, I see that litte Antigua spin, Flood. Thanks for pointing out. Yet, looking at all that heavy shear, the CONUS should be quite safe if anything were to spurn.
