Potential major phasing event this weekend

The EURO is remarkably southwest compared to other models. I am not sure if that has to do with Sandy's strength once she exits Cuba or what...

The Central Atlantic ridge between Sandy and the ULL in the North Atlantic is stronger on the Euro than the GFS and GGEM. So the storm cannot escape south and east. The GGEM trended the Euro's direction in that regard tonight as well.

Is a 960 mb landfall not good enough these days lol? Sounds pretty historic to me with potential to be a bit stronger IF this solution is ultimately correct.

The gfs is really throwing that monkey wrench in and it's why confidence is still fairly low with this event. If it agreed with the other models, we'd probably start talking about the details of these major impacts.

Ahh yes, good point. I did notice the GGEM track due west at one point. Do you see the blizzard going on in western PA on the EURO? Insanity.

If the euro verifies, what would happen in NYC since Sandy is well to the south.

With the rapid strengthening and capture of the storm aloft you would most likely get a secondary wind amx to the northeast of the storm. The southeasterly winds would still cause significant impacts along all of the NJ coast and Long Island. A hurricane/hybrid with very low pressure (Assuming the Euro is overdone) landfalling in Sea Isle City from the West is close enough for significant impacts in NYC.

The Euro is really a Mid-Atlantic event now.. Places east and north of Block Island aren't in grave danger now, no? (as per the euro)

As far as storm surge and beach erosion, as far as winds who the hell knows, its virtually impossible to know what sort of winds this will have at that point...if the always overdoing the MSLP Euro on these sort of transitioned tropical systems shows 952 on landfall it may actually verify at 970-975 if we actual truly acted out this exact run of the Euro in real life. I'm still tending to think we would see alot of winds in the 40s and 50s with some places seeing over 60, LGA with their funnelling effect down LI Sound would be one place prone to that.

This still makes landfall at 940 or lower on the EURO if you look in between the hourlies (Wunderground maps), and NYC still sees sustained TS winds (and likely much higher gusts).

The BIG story this run is the SNOWWWWWW! Western PA, WV and Western MD get absolutely SLAMMED with 3-4 feet or more. That would be incredibly crippling.
