It's just as strong of a system moving in from the same direction that would spell disaster for the coast if correct

Verbatim its a much smaller wind feild. So overall impacts would be less then Sandy surge wise. Wind wise it would be worse in the right front quadrant especially if any sort of eye wall is still intact

Too early to pull up the storm surge demographics, but Wildwood would be underwater in this scenario. Let's get back tho to the tracking. It's not about our backyards.

Yes, WIldwood would probably be under water....until the water receded.

There would also be a lot of damage. But it wouldn't stay like that forever. Storms hit coastlines all the time. They usually recover quite well.

Hope the servers can handle the load if the OP Euro and ensembles show a similar solution tonight.

I compared the 0z and 12z vigorously and there was a slight trend towards a ULL capture and clearing of that false junk in the North Atlantic. The only reason the Euro ends up so far east is because of the far SW dip.

There were a number of 12z EPS members showing landfalls from the MA to the NE which held onto the stronger

block to the east Of New England like the 18z GFS. So now we wait to see if more ensembles and the OP move

to this idea at 0z. The cluster of members showing the landfalls also have the SW dip.

While the OMG BIBLIKAL posts are overstated, there's no question this has the chance to be very damaging if hits the shoreline north of Hatteras with a west-of-north path.  Surge gets gnarly b/c of the geography of the Atlantic shoreline and especially the bay.  IIRC Isabel did about $2B in damage to VA and MD, even though it came ashore in NC - granted, Isabel was huge, but a direct hit to the Chesapeake from a Cat 2 would be a very costly landfall.

As someone who follows what you say quite closely this has me more concerned than the models.

On a side not would be nice if people stopped comparing this to Sandy....

Verbatim the 18z gfs would mean similar effects on what we experience with sandy. The wind profile is insane on the gfs...be great full it's just one run

Good awareness already ongoing outlining the risks. NJ OEM has already been issuing statements to local municipalities.

 

Being in the public safety field and as we all know, the earlier you can start getting the word out to the public to at least highlight the potential the better off you are. I would think that if the models continue to show significant storm impacts to the state for late week and into the weekend the NJ ROIC will begin increasing its operational response levels over the next 24-36 hours.

I'll vouch for this.  The surge into the Chesapeake Bay was immense even though landfall was in southern NC for Isabel.
