Hey, no offense to the weatherman on Fox, but if you need to explain every possible variable for where this storm MAY go, and it entails a catestrophic shift of the jet stream over the next 3 days, maybe you're reaching a little to far!
The forecast model for the predicted path of this storm only contains 2.....YES, ONLY 2 possible cases where the storm would be drawn in towards the coast and hit us squarely on the south coast.
The problem is that these 2 possiblities require the jet stream to drop down from Canada to Florida within the next 3 days.
Forgive, but if that were to happen, the hurricane would be our LAST concern!!!!!
(Sounds like someone is trying to glorify their position for contract renewal time!)

The meteorologists have to be cover their tails so they don't get jail time like the Italians did.
Italian scientists resign over L'Aquila quake verdicts - CNN.com
While the above is said in jest, I do agree that it's rather silly how they make mountains out of molehills. But, I guess they have to talk about something. |

Say what you will, however, the models show more than 2 options. I've looked at and discussed with the metro guys I work with showing all models shifting to a more westerly track for Sandy.

Quickly turning from fun weather geek stuff at some outlying models to "holy sh*t".
That my friends is a monster storm.

More and more models have the system over our head pulling strong enough to make next week interesting

3:00 US Model hanging a left.
There is a consensus forming in weather forecast models that hurricane Sandy is unlikely to go out to sea. Instead, it more likely will merge with a strong fall cold front and transition into a powerhouse, possibly historic mid-latitude storm along the mid-Atlantic and/or Northeast coast Sunday through Wednesday.
The majority of models now take Sandy from its current position over Jamaica northward over the Bahamas before curving the storm towards either the mid-Atlantic or Northeast coast. Models disagree on where the storm will recurve and make landfall: simulations vary from the mid-Atlantic to Maine. There remains a chance, though diminishing, the storm will slide harmlessly out to sea.
The location of the storm’s landfall is very important for determining exactly what local impacts will be. Not everyone will experience significant or dangerous storm conditions. But suffice to say, coastal regions from the Carolinas through eastern Canada are likely to get battered by tremendous surf and face a real risk of significant to severe coastal flooding. This storm will be a slow mover meaning large waves may pound the coast for lengthy time periods. Not to mention, the wind and waves will raise the water level, bringing ashore a multiple foot storm surge in regions close to where the storm makes landfall (assuming it does so).
Making matters worse, the storm will coincide with a full moon Monday night, meaning elevated tides above normal levels. Astronomically high tides have played a key role in historic coastal flooding events along the East Coast, such as the Ash Wednesday storm of March, 1962.

Can you say "abrupt end to the season"? Of course the fishing leading up to the storm could prove epic for some....

Maybe this says it all: "'We don't have many modern precedents for what the models are suggesting,' forecaster says".

 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

I hate these storms. But there's always a chance of Snowstorm Blitz II. Piemma and crew would be in on it.
