imho, the worse impacts minus shore, speaking directly for inland, would be a hit coming due west from nyc-acy in that range. We would be close enough to get big wind and we would get an arse load of rain. The east side of the storm would have a huge wind swath but it would be rain bands rotating through the day. Being in the path or jus west of it would put us in the wall of water rain wise.

More towards central NJ me thinks.

NHC needs to wake up...can't believe they kept the track the same or even a hair more south at 2PM update. Not much evidence to support that track anymore.

Even though the timestamp on the graphic is updated, NHC I believe usually does not make changes to the track forecast during the intermediate advisories.

Yeah if it does make landfall between AC and NYC you can take the 10-15 inches on the qpf map and shift it north. Do you think that much rain is possible?

Keep in mind this will not be your "traditional" cane as Sandy approaches the coast. Whether tropical or not, it's going to have a much larger wind field because of baroclinic enhancement and the transition to nontropical status. Wind field will be large over a larger area -- worst of worst may be north of landfall point but the size of the storm means the winds will be spread out over a larger area.

You gotta get the tropical mentality out of your wind when you're thinking about this storm in terms of impacts...it will impact a large swath of real estate...yes, for the coast where it comes ashore matters more...but farther inland (west of the Turnpike in Jersey), the size of this is large enough where rain/wind impacts will be relatively uniform.

Nope I did too. Does anyone see a problem here with projected strength of the storm for the ne when Sandy is already down to a minimal hurricane now?

No. The barclonic process when it phases with the jet is going to do some serious strengthening here. Especially with the placement of the jet exit and entrance regions.

it deff sounds like wherever the west side of this storm is will have a swath of 4-8 inches of rain. As you know with floyd and other systems you can't pick up on meso banding and what not. So yes their will def be higher amounts.
