Model snapshot for Sunday night

Below are 2 snapshots of where Sandy is forecast to be by the 2 models meteorologists are relying on heavily at this point.  Images come from weather.unisys.com.  Full credit goes to them.

This is the European model which was the first to hint that Sandy would be a problem for the Eastern US.  You'll notice that the center(all the closed circles east of the Carolinas) is closer to the coast than the image below.

The difference may only be about 100 miles or so, but that will make all the difference when it comes to where Sandy, or what it will be at that point, makes landfall.

I'll have another update early this afternoon with model information from this mornings run.

Here comes Sandy

I'll be updating this as much as possible today and through the weekend.  Keep checking back here often.  To start off the morning, here it the forecast track that the National Hurricane Center has for Sandy.  In general, I'm in agreement with this path, though my gut tells me that landfall will be a bit farther north than is depicted in the picture below.
























More to come...
