GOES-16 Mid-level Water Vapor (6.9 \u00b5m) images with hourly surface weather symbols plotted in red (above)<\/strong><\/em> showed the large-scale evolution of a storm system that deepened rapidly as it moved across the Northeast US during the 29 October<\/strong><\/a> – 30 October 2017<\/strong><\/a> period (surface analyses<\/strong><\/a>). This storm produced widespread high winds and heavy rain (WPC storm summary<\/strong><\/a> | NWS Boston PNS<\/strong><\/a> | NWS Caribou PNS<\/strong><\/a>). Record low sea level pressures for the month of October were set in New York at Albany<\/strong><\/a> (977.7 hPa) and Fort Drum<\/strong><\/a> (977.5 hPa), and in Massachusetts at Nantucket<\/strong><\/a> (982.6 hPa) — a map of the minimum sea level pressures from the New York State Mesonet can be seen here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Closer views of the Northeast US using images from the GOES-16 Upper-level Water Vapor (6.2 \u00b5m<\/strong><\/a>), Mid-level Water Vapor (6.9 \u00b5m<\/strong><\/a>) and Low-level Water Vapor (7.3 \u00b5m<\/strong><\/a>) bands are shown below, with hourly surface wind gusts (knots) plotted in red. The high winds caused extensive damage to trees and power lines, leading to power outages<\/strong><\/a> in some areas — and also contributed to coastal storm surge<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
