Euro also was farther SW and stronger with the block by NewFoundland.

ECMWF has been very consistent with major features that go into influencing the phasing. If anything, this run continues the trend of slowing down the Pacific process, amplifying the downstream ridge over the western US and giving more amplitude to the s/w that digs into the East. This trend is supported by the positive frictional torque over 50-60N and -dAAM/dT that propagated to this latitude.

Well lets think this through....why is it phasing it quicker? Less interaction between ATL system and the storm?

On the flip side, is it strengthening Sandy slower? A stronger Sandy would probably delay phasing a bit.

Good let it stay well SW. Euro Ens will be interesting in a few hours.

GFS came left, Euro went left. I was wrong the goalposts are still separated...but they're shifting left for sure. Good for less damage up here.

I think it depends hugely on the environment and storm structure. I don't think there's a good hard and fast rule to apply.

Reason I ask is I was looking at both the ECMWF and GFS. Two very different model solutions, but both give SNE 48+ hours of 850 mb wind speeds of over 50 kts. Based on this, would it be a stretch to say that we are potentially in for 2 days of at least Tropical Storm force wind gusts?

As far as H5 goes, the ridge south of Greenland trended stronger, but ridge out west a little flatter thanks to Aleutian ridging. So net-net...little difference. However, these nuances are critical to where Sandy goes.

I am hoping the ensembles show NYC or north - isn't that where they have been?

Could it be the Euro is too far south and GFS to far north and NYC is the middle point between the two?
