[STORMREPORTS] Extremely Low Pressures on New Jersey Coast

From: Jesse Ferrell (WeatherMatrix) (jesse{at}weathermatrix.net)
Date: Wed Dec 25 2002 - 21:47:50 EST


As the storm systems bombs offshore, we are seeing very low atmospheric
pressure (sea-level) readings at the Jersey shore.

Atlantic City reported 28.93" at 1pm. (A reading of 28.90" constitutes a
Category Three hurricane (with sufficient winds)).

Offshore buoys reported no lower pressures but did report winds gusting to
near 40 knots with waves of up to 16 feet.

See webcams showing the high waves as well as the White Christmas inland in
the Northeast:
