For decades the discussions were abbv. and far more technical scientific analysis...until three? years ago noaa and nws decided to dumb them down . Many mets were miffed by this, actually. For one, the discussions were taking 3x more time to prepare.Man they have their own language.

I do not wish this at all. I pray it may not be so, but if the eye is slightly left of New York City, and
the right quadrant hits the city.................
I have watched Discovery about this senerio. It will not be well.
A full moon on Monday means tides will already be high.

I am not the most religious guy in the world but I have already said a little prayer for those in the path of Sandy.
I hope all the fishing boats in New England have returned to port and we do not have a real "Perfect Storm Two"

I just hope we don't have late air on Monday (and Tuesday and Wednesday and...).

More likely you'll also have late grounds, too.

Amazingly this post and model run was from 4 days ago. now the European model this afternoon (same model) has come north from it's erred Delmarva position at landfall for the past several days, and more or less back to it's solution 4 days ago.
It appears as though NJ/NY/LI/ CT/RI/MA will be taking a historic hit. Worst-case is not guaranteed but certainly most likely outcome.

They were just worrying about the subways flooding in NYC. I guess a 20% chance. I don't know. Maybe, someone will get a bath.

All of our loads are either already here or will be here for Monday. Much of our ground goes through Meadowlands so the rest of the week may be interesting.
Do you mean the unwashed masses? I have no idea what your comment really implies. Care to expand?

These are winds at 900mb or relative to the sfc, around 1500ft above. This is a top-down view of estimated low-level jet stream (llj) speeds at that level.
Notice the huge area >55kts. That is ridiculous, highly unusual. Anywhere that is "exposed" with little or no land/ sfc friction (mostly for coastal/ocean interests) will easily mix down 80-90% of that wind. That is sustained 45kts for the entire coastline from New Brunswick to North Carolina.
Inland the ratio is usually 60-80%.

By the way, that is 80-100kt from ME to NJ. or 89-109mph.
Also, some center reorganization underway right now.
Tropical cyclones historically strengthen while moving NE parallel to the SC/NC/OBX and etc coast
