After reviewing the latest data, the trends for Hurricane Sandy are concerning.
The forecasts had showed a variety of tracks from the mid-Atlantic region to well out to sea, but the models appear to be coming into better alignment.
Overview:
Hurricane Sandy is expected to continue northward and the threat of an East Coast "landfall" seems to be increasing with every new set of model runs. After an array of possibilities, the focus is now shifted towards the mid-Atlantic and New England areas. As the storm advances northward, a turn towards the northwest and into the United States is now being projected by virtually every computer run. New runs have come out this afternoon and they are all taking Sandy into the East Coast.
Reminder:
The storm is still expected to potentially impact land in the Sunday to Tuesday time-frame, meaning that there are still several days for things to change. With that said, no forecast or trend is set and stone.
What this means:
The threat is increasing for a high impact storm across a large portion of the East Coast later this weekend and into early next week. The ingredients are coming together, but there is still a lot of time to focus on figuring out the specifics.
Stay tuned for a complete technical model discussion later this afternoon.
