Looking at current conditions around NY, the 93 mph wind gust out of Westhampton ASOS appears inaccurate. However, conditions will be deteriorating later today and especially tonight.

Just got a wind report from the National Hurricane Center East Coast Skywarn Net. At 12:42pm, the Westhampton NY ASOS reported a wind gust of 93mph. I'm thinking that may be inaccurate. Looking for additional information to confirm that gust.
