Would we be watching the tropical models for a incoming Blizzard? The relivence if Sandy stayed pure tropical I can see, but uncharted territory here.

Was wondering this myself. Are the tropical models out of their wheelhouse so to speak once Sandy begins to transition to ET? Not trying to wishcast this thing north...seriously curious they should be given as much weight in this scenario.

Both. I still think srn- ctrl NJ give or take is ground zero. I'm not sure LI is in the cards.

What type of waves we looking at on the east coast of Mass? If I wanted to take a short drive over to view them would it be worth it?

NHC keeping it tropical through landfall?

I think that was a decision announced yesterday IIRC. Regardless of whether this thing went ET or not, they were gonna keep it tropical to avoid any public confusion. I could have misunderstood though...I've been rather busy and skimming through a lot of these posts.

How so? I haven't looked that closely...looks like a pretty bad shot for everyone. I guess maybe I jumped the gun on being happy about not buying a generator today? smile.png

Because it brings gusts 60-80 from north to south. The saving grace is that I think worse winds don't come at high tide if the NAM is right.

Even with landfall on the NJ coast, the NAM is showing ENE flow of 80-90 kt at 925 mb pounding into eastern MA. I assume that would be problematic.

NAM has 70 knots sustained at 800 feet over your head, lol. 90 knots at 900mb. The LLJ on the northeast side of this thing is hellecious.
