Trop Storm Sandy - A Potential "Perfect Storm"
A storm for the ages? Perhaps.

There are very few instances when I have posted a headline like the one in this blog. Hype is not a tool I use to get the attention of my audience unless it is warranted and I feel it could help to save lives and property. What I am seeing in some of the global models is worthy of getting your attention and if it's hype, then all the better in the long run.

To put it in simple terms, some of the global models are indicating that this storm will get caught in the southwest Atlantic and grow in to a hybrid mix of a hurricane and a Nor'easter the likes we have not seen since as far back as 1991 with the "Perfect Storm".

Re: Trop Storm Sandy - A Potential "Perfect Storm"
Let me just once again state how unusual this is. I've been reading GLP since 2005. I can count on one hand the number of potential DOOM posts that had actual evidence which came from REAL sources that were not other paranoid schizophrenics.

OP actually links to real, scientific proof AND doesn't even guarantee a doom event - call its "potential" - can you imagine if everyone on GLP stopped masturbating to doom and posted in a non-batshit crazy manner like this?

If it was any other model than the Euro, I won't worry.

Something to really keep an eye on.

On another note, what did you think of the debates?

I tried to watch but kept nodding off.

Another thing to watch out for with Sandy are quakes.

I have seen it many times when a tropical cyclone is near a fault zone, a quake can be triggered.

It seems to be mostly when atmospheric pressure drops quickly.

Either by a TC moving quickly into a fault zone or when it rapidly intensifies.

The Carib Plate has been very unstable of late with lots of small to moderate quakes from Hispaniola to Virgin Islands.

TROPICAL STORM SANDY DISCUSSION NUMBER 4...CORRECTED
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL182012
500 AM EDT TUE OCT 23 2012

BANDS OF VERY DEEP CONVECTION HAVE DEVELOPED OVER THE EASTERN
PORTION OF THE CIRCULATION OVERNIGHT. HOWEVER...THERE APPEARS TO
BE VERY LITTLE OVERALL CHANGE IN THE INNER-CORE STRUCTURE DURING
THE PAST 12-18 HOURS...AS AN EARLIER ASCAT PASS INDICATED THAT
SANDY STILL HAS A LARGE AREA OF LIGHT WINDS NEAR THE CENTER.
SUBJECTIVE DVORAK T-NUMBERS ARE T2.5...AND THE INITIAL WIND
SPEED IS MAINTAINED AT 40 KT. AN AIR FORCE RESERVE HURRICANE
HUNTER AIRCRAFT IS CURRENTLY EN ROUTE TO THE CYCLONE AND SHOULD
PROVIDE A BETTER ASSESSMENT OF THE INTENSITY OF THE STORM.

SANDY APPEARS TO BE MOVING SLOWLY NORTHWARD. THE TRACK GUIDANCE IS
IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT ON A FASTER NORTH TO NORTH-NORTHEASTWARD
MOTION BEGINNING TODAY AS A MID-LEVEL RIDGE TO THE NORTH OF SANDY
WEAKENS. THE CENTER OF SANDY SHOULD MOVE NEAR OR OVER
JAMAICA ON WEDNESDAY AND APPROACH EASTERN CUBA BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
THE MODEL GUIDANCE REMAINS IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH 96 HOURS WITH
A TRACK ACROSS THE CENTRAL BAHAMAS. BY DAY 5...HOWEVER...THERE IS
SIGNIFICANT SPREAD IN THE GUIDANCE...WITH THE ECMWF ALONG THE
WESTERN EDGE OF THE GUIDANCE ENVELOPE AND THE HWRF ALONG THE
EASTERN SIDE. THE GFS IS CLOSER TO THE MIDDLE OF THE GUIDANCE
ENVELOPE AND THE NHC FORECAST IS BASED ON THE MULTI-MODEL CONSENSUS
AND THE FLORIDA STATE ENSEMBLE AT DAYS 4 AND 5.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS CONSISTING OF LOW SHEAR...WARM WATERS...
AND A MOIST ATMOSPHERE...FAVOR STRENGTHENING DURING THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS. IN FACT...ALL OF THE INTENSITY MODELS BRING
SANDY TO HURRICANE STRENGTH WITHIN 36 TO 48 HOURS AND SO DOES
THE NHC FORECAST. AFTER SANDY CROSSES EASTERN CUBA...THE
VERTICAL SHEAR IS FORECAST TO INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY...HOWEVER THE
GLOBAL MODELS DEPICT A DEEPENING CYCLONE...POSSIBLY DUE TO SOME
BAROCLINIC FORCING. THE NHC FORECAST STILL INDICATES THE SYSTEM
BECOMING SUBTROPICAL LATE IN THE PERIOD...ALTHOUGH THERE ARE SOME
INDICATIONS IN THE GLOBAL MODELS THAT SANDY COULD BE TRANSITIONING
TO AN EXTRATROPICAL CYCLONE AROUND THAT TIME.

FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDS

INIT 23/0900Z 13.3N 78.6W 40 KT 45 MPH
12H 23/1800Z 14.1N 78.2W 50 KT 60 MPH
24H 24/0600Z 15.6N 77.8W 60 KT 70 MPH

Kind of like a Nor'easter only worse. Where I grew up in Upstate New York, those kinds of storms would just dump loads of snow on us. And the wind was SO cold and it would just howl.

Basically, most models are showing Sandy going back out to sea and missing Florida, but if I could find that damn link to a story I was reading earlier on Sandy, the forecaster was saying that there was a possibility of her taking aim at the north eastern seaboard later in her track.

ECMWF strikes Long Island with 948 mb 27.96 hurricane 2-3 foot snows on west side mtns of pa into wva. Defies GFS..again!

Canadian takes 939 mb hurricane into NYC Monday from southeast as it will not allow escape. Euro through 120 much further w than gfs

Still think pattern favors the capture, so until Friday, its game on as GFS has missed many storms to the southeast with bogus interactions

Thank you! That isn't the link I'm looking for, but the information is still what I was reading. Great post!

From the link:

How Sandy tracks Friday and beyond is dependent on several weather factors, which at this time are very complex and creating solutions that range from a tropical nightmare to a miss for the East Coast.

The worst case scenario for the East Coast involves Sandy paralleling the coast from Florida to the Carolinas this weekend before being drawn inland into the mid-Atlantic or New England early next week.

Re: Trop Storm Sandy - A Potential "Perfect Storm"
If Sandy phases with the cold-front or not, one thing for sure is there will be a large upper-level low to the east of Sandy when Sandy is in the north Bahamas.

This will cause Sandy to intensify rapidly since it will create ideal upper-level ventilation.

This is referred to as a poleward outflow channel by the mets.

If Sandy stays more west at this time, it'll be in the Gulf Stream and have a lot of juice to ramp up as well.
