SACRUS Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Sandy should come ashore between 4 and 6 PM if not sooner. AC looks like ground zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCSuburbs Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Clearly I'm not finding any historical references to this situation. I wonder if any time in recorded history there was a hurricane intensifying as it moved NW, striking NJ as a Cat 2 hurricane... this is re-writing history.

Storm At Sea Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 It looks like landfall may occur MUCH earlier (possibly as early as 3:45PM or 4PM) just south of ACY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlestonNYC Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 It looks like landfall may occur MUCH earlier (possibly as early as 3:45PM or 4PM) just south of ACY. If anything I think that may we worse. NYC gets in on the SE winds as high tide is coming in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entropy Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 This is on track to produce the extreme wind gusts that I mentioned on this thread whenever that was ... basically it is just too strong a storm to do anything else. You can see how it's rotating its energy around to the forward side and I fully expect this to start ramping up winds across Long Island and NYC, northern NJ to landfall values that will be similar to the hurricane's circulation potential, so in other words, 50-80 mph sustained, 100-120 mph gusts. The rainfall will also beef up to the north of the track as the frontal zone inland ne PA and nw NJ begins to receive low level frontal forcing from 65-70 F dew points rapidly advecting west. I thinik today's max temps in NYC may surprise (not sure what they are predicted to be, too busy to check) but watch temps come up into low 70s in the screaming ESE storm force winds. Could be like 72/71 with a wind chill of 45 from some graph but of course that won't actually be the case. Good point. This will be drawing a lot of unseasonably warm, moist air north from the tropics. I think that's one of the reasons the models are fully picking up the surface wind potential. They aren't mixing well because they keep the surface temperatures too low. I think it will rise into the 50s overnight here in northeast Ohio tonight, and peak near 60 tomorrow morning before the storm starts tracking north.

Sundog Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Yeah go with WABC. the cross-eyed idiot on Fox 5 is still motioning the eye of the storm to turn NW and hit monmouth county, lol. Are you talking about Nick Gregory? If so you're dead wrong. He's not some dumbass reading off a prompter. He's had detailed commentary throughout his reports. For example he was mentioning how he thinks this will come ashore sooner or how it looks like it will make landfall a little farther south than progged.

RU848789 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Hey guys... question. What NYC area TV station has the best coverage? WABC? Avoid Lonnie Quinn on Channel 2 and Mike Woods on Channel 5 - both are hunky weather guys, who have no knowledge of meteorology, as far as I can tell. Quinn just said that cold core storms get their energy from the colder temps in the ocean. Stick with Lee Goldberg on Channel 7 (plus you get the Liz Cho bonus). Hey, does this site keep going down? Seems like threads haven't been updating for 30-40 minutes at a time, but one can still see existing threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxnut Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Jusy trying to get an official pressure reading for Sandy at landfall.. lowest I've seen from a land station is 950 mb over the Cape May area, and 954 mb at ACY. This is a good 5-10 mb higher than recon estimate at 940-944 mb. What will the official lowest pressure for Sandy be.. one that is offically recorded by a land station, or one that is estimated by dropsondes?

What will the official lowest pressure for Sandy be.. one that is offically recorded by a land station, or one that is estimated by dropsondes? Doubt there will be any below 950 mb. The record for a sea level station in the NE was 946 mb at Bellport, LI, during the Hurricane of 1938. Henry M. of Accuweather believes the eye passed over Sea Isle City, just north of Cape May.
