Severe Storm Sandy Update- Sat 11 PM
This afternoon's NOGAPS continued to show the storm hitting the coast further north (North Jersey, NYC or LI). Tonight's NAM model has Sandy coming onshore in North Jersey, near NYC about 6 PM Monday. The all important NOGAPS and GFS models don't become available for another hour or so.
Despite a likely shift to a bit further north, the precipitation shield is highest in our area, with at least 6 inches of rain occurring with sustained winds of 30-40 mph. The heaviest rains will be from morning through midnight on Monday. Updates tomorrow.
Check out this website for earlier posts.
Here are my concerns about this storm.

Severe Storm Sandy Update- Sat 4 PM
While this morning's NOGAPS gave some hope that the storm would move away to our north and east, the latest GFS and NAM models continue predicting the track of the storm into southern NJ. Still not sure if this recent run of the NOGAPS was a fluke or a trend setter. Stay tuned.website for earlier posts.
Here are my concerns about this storm.

Severe Storm Sandy Update- Sat 12 PM
The latest NOGAPS just available keeps Sandy offshore from us and heading into New England! I know the official track is into Delaware, but this model run of the NOGAPS is the first suggesting a major shift in the path of the storm that would reduce its impact on us. Will have to see if this trend is picked up by the other models. You heard it here first! Check my website for earlier posts.

Severe Storm Sandy Update- Sat 9 AM
Last night's NOGAPS and GFS continue to show Sandy transitioning from a hurricane to an extratropical Nor'easter that undergoes explosive cyclogenesis as it retrogrades westward into the NJ shore. The trend has been for more of a central/northern NJ coastline entry, but due to it's transition to an extratropical cyclone, its size will affect large areas, regardless of where the center moves.
Rainfall totals will range from 6-13 inches of water and central barometric pressure is expected to be about 28.15 inches mercury. (Average sea level pressure is just short of 30.00 inches). Winds are expected to be a sustained 30 mph with higher gusts near 50 or more.
Rain starts Sunday, but the actual storm effects of wind and heavy rains will begin before daybreak on Monday and increase during the day as the storm moves onshore around Monday evening or night.
Here are my concerns about this storm.
