map just doesnt seem right and think a landfall is more likely to be near central NJ and not delaware bay.

Lets see where the rest of the 00z guidance goes but suspect they'll adjust landfall north if guidance continues to consolidate on a a hit between cape may and LI...

Sadly, Sandy Hook is very vulnerable to storms such as this one. In fact, it was an island for a period of time after a storm cut out a piece of the peninsula. I'm hoping that a similar situation does not occur this go around.

A hundred years from now people will falsely believe that's how Sandy Hook got its name.

The NHC forecast map doesn't really show the exact forecast landfall position. It's merely connecting two dots with a straight line. I believe that we're thinking the hurricane will continue northward from the 8pm Monday position and then curve through maybe Ocean / Monmouth Co. before reaching the 8pm Tuesday position.

On the 21Z SREFs, you can really see the slight divergence with the individual members in the mean. There are two distinct Low Pressures in the mean, which would indicate some ensemble members that would take the slightly north GFS/NAM track into C NJ and NYC while some that take the slightly further south ECM track into S NJ.

N-NE winds for most of LI and the 5 boroughs through the worst part of the storm on this track, this is much better than the track well into the Delmarva where we would be E-SE...still could be bad news for Nrn Queens and LI but Connecticut and southern LI would fare a bit better. Eventually winds do come around to the south once the low moves inland but its hard to say if the surge potential might be lower at that point. The N-NE winds typically also have a bit less propensity for wind damage as we've discussed before.
