A lot of folks in the NE forum are predicting a western LI landfall, while it's early, i'm not sure there is much support for that. CM to Sandy Hook looks to be the place.

Of course they are predicting a western LI landfall...that benefits them the most. I still don't see the model support for that. Southern NJ seems to be the mean right now.

Good point, since the GFS and Euro have tons of historical experience dealing with a captured ET cyclone under super strong blocking scenarios.

They should still handle it better than the LBAR. This kind of scenario does happen from time to time just not where it's supposed to this time
