Two concerns being in the seafood industry for me:

1) I know a ton of small boats planning to make a tuna fishing trip to George's Bank for Thurs-Sat. Anything goes wrong and you're toast.

2) I have a meeting on our oyster farm on Tuesday morning in Osterville with a big restaurant group.

Yeah... potential issues for beds, etc.

Plus my mom is right on the water in Narr. Bay...ulp

You usually don't see the HPC come out with this kind of language this early...keep in mind this is using several of the 00z verbatims.

PRELIMINARY EXTENDED FORECAST DISCUSSION

NWS HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL PREDICTION CENTER COLLEGE PARK MD

959 AM EDT TUE OCT 23 2012

VALID 12Z SAT OCT 27 2012 - 12Z TUE OCT 30 2012

...POTENTIAL FOR MAJOR STORM OVER THE MID ATLANTIC & NORTHEAST

EARLY NEXT WEEK...

UPDATED THE PRELIMINARY FRONTS AND PRESSURES FOR DAYS 3 THROUGH 7

USING THE 00Z/23 EUROPEAN CENTRE ENSEMBLE MEAN, WITH A SMALL

INCORPORATION OF THE 00Z/23 EUROPEAN CENTRE DETERMINISTIC MODEL TO

LEND MORE DEFINITION TO THE SYNOPTIC GRADIENTS ACROSS THE NATION.

USED THE MOST RECENT FORECAST FROM THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER

FOR THE TRACK OF TROPICAL STORM SANDY THROUGH DAY 5, WITH A CURVE

TO THE NORTHWEST DAYS 6 AND 7 BASED ON THE ECENS MEAN. THE 00Z/23

GEM GLOBAL CONTINUES TO CLUSTER WITH THE ECMWF FOR THE BEHAVIOR OF

SANDY ONCE IT TRANSITIONS TO A SUBTROPICAL SYSTEM, INDICATING THAT

THE CYCLONE GETS PULLED BACK TOWARD THE SHARP UPPER TROUGH CLOSING

OVER THE OHIO VALLEY. THE ECMWF AND GEM GLOBAL HAVE SEVERAL RUNS

OF CONTINUITY NOW WITH THE EVOLUTION OF THIS EVENT, WITH THE

DETERMINISTIC GFS LESS STABLE. THERE HAVE BEEN GFS ENSEMBLE

MEMBERS QUITE SIMILAR TO THE ECMWF/GEM CAMP FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS

OF MODEL CYCLES, PUTTING THE DETERMINISTIC GFS SOLUTIONS IN A

BROADER FRAMEWORK WITH THEIR TRACK OF SANDY WELL OVER THE OPEN

ATLANTIC. WILL BE UPDATING THE TRACK OF SANDY THROUGH DAY 5 FOR

THE FINAL PACKAGE WITH THE ADVENT OF THE NEW NATIONAL HURRICANE

CENTER FORECAST, AND ITS BEHAVIOR AS A SUBTROPICAL LOW THEREAFTER

AS PER OUR HOTLINE COORDINATION.

Warm seclusion on the Euro...even has tightest winds near the center.

I was just noticing this about the NOGAPs run, too

What's terrifying about the NOGAPs solution is that it retrogrades the low down the spine of LI for 6-12 hours, during which there are insane contact wind velocities [probably] drilling a storm surge up the Sound

It's hard but fascinating to imagine that this years October storm may relegate last years to a footnote in many places.

I just think we have to wait on saying things like that when there may be no storm at all. All the talk about it's going to destroy this place or that, and some place is going to get buried by snow is just fantasy land and I'm still very skeptical.
