One thing I notice with OP Euro run, We in the philly area wouldn't see too much rain. Most of the QPF stays on the SW, SSW, W area of the low....

Also, I'm contemplating doing a snow chase in the mountains of W PA. Anyone in?!

well thats relatively speaking. We still get 3-4 inches of rain. We just dont get the 4-8 on the western side. But with being on the eastern side we exchange less rainfall for higher damagin winds and higher storm surge and worse coastal flooding.

I'm wondering when the store & gas panic starts - generators, water, batteries, food, etc.

My guess is tomorrow unless a radical OTS consensus materializes somewhere.

Well... I did just warn my dad that, worst case scenario, power could be out for a week or two so make sure you have enough gas for the generator (and cars) to last that long. If that matters to anyone.

NHC 5 day track to just off Jersey shore 8am tuesday, headed for NYC....HPC/NHC now on board for high impact event for Mid Atlantic

I wouldn't say it's headed for NYC, but more probably the central Jersey coast. It will likely be moving NW at that point. Sensible weather won't be all that impacted though. What's 50 miles among friends. The trend though is that the Mt Holly forecast area has the highest probability of getting the landfall.

Your browser might not like the Navy...

pet peeve: i hate people who just post in-line links instead of attaching the image, sometimes its helpful to go back and look and then of course its changed or gone. /rant

Do you hate the people, or just that they post the link? To be safe, I'm fixing it. Sorry - was in Gary Gray mode - didn't have much time. :)
