Hurricane Sandy/Potential EC Event Discussion Part II

Recommended Posts

Be that as it may--we need to recognize that every model is not on board--gem, e.g., now missing to the east. Still so much time to play out here as it's only Wednesday.

While it's still the GEM, it does in fact develop a secondary low that then bombs out near the 40/70 benchmark while Sandy heads OTS.

To me the GFS looks awfully confused on what to do. What a difference with the trough over the CONUS however.

Yeah I don't really buy the GFS. It's all over the place.

Obviously a NBD solution is still possible... but I don't think this storm will do what the GFS is showing.

Euro op is still on the wrn envelope of solutions I think when looking at the ensembles, but even the 06z GFS looks like it's caving.

Yeah I don't think the Euro ens consensus is any more west than it was 12z yesterday...in fact maybe even a touch east.

6z GFS is basically there though.

Although, there is a very strong 850 wind max overhead and winds stay strong as it weakens near NYC.

yeah the wind field is very impressive. would be a prolonged period of strong onshore winds. but of course without knowing how exactly the core structure of the storm is behaving at the point its tough to know what it would be like over the entire region with respect to winds etc

Anyone watch the beginning of Today?

Page 1 was Roker going through watches and warnings then a comparison of the Euro and GFS SLP progs. Awesome.

Yeah expect lots of "tropical force" winds whatever those are. I always thought if he would slow down just a little bit he would actually do a pretty good job.

I'm guessing if this happens, the public will probably call this a hurricane or hurricane Sandy since that's what they are most familiar with (Hurricanes in general) although some may call it a nor'easter as well since that's another term they know (no matter the inaccuracy). The whole hybrid/subtropical storm will probably not gel well even though it's the correct/scientific option.

Ha! I wish I could do that... It'd be easier to explain/show. Management won't let me, though... :( Not like it matters THAT much for me in the Deep South. :lol:

I'm watching this from afar, but my goodness the set-up is there for something special! It'll either phase (Euro) or head out to sea (GFS) and create a nice nor'easter. I'd side more with the Euro, though, as it's run-to-run consistency is remarkable and the 6Z GFS looks off-kilter with Sandy...

GEFS have a number of direct hits still

http://www.meteo.psu...rsloopmref.html

Several models with the follow up nor'easter too.

Appears that 3/4ths of the members support a US hit of "Sandy", with the non-hits developing a noreaster. The OP seems to be the only member that takes it OTS with a "nothing to see here" attitude. Talk about outlier.
