06Z GFS shows it making a hook into LI, NYC, & NJ.

Was also on the 00Z run

PIN!!!

Sudden and large snow load could also factor in triggering a quake


Latest NAM has it at 976mb

GFS is splitting the surface low

Much thanks for pin!!

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
648 AM EST MON NOV 5 2012

SIGNIFICANT COASTAL STORM WILL LIKELY IMPACT THE AREA WEDNESDAY
INTO THURSDAY...

MODELS ARE IN BETTER AGREEMENT ON UPPER LEVEL FEATURES...AND NOW SFC
LOW TRACK...WITH NOTICEABLE CLUSTERING OCCURRING WITH LOW TRACK AS
COMPARED TO PREVIOUS RUNS.

NAM/UKMET AND SREF FURTHER EAST...WITH GFS/ECMWF/GGEM TO THE WEST.
THERE ARE STILL SOME DIFFERENCES WITH TIMING...STRENGTH AND EXACT
TRACK BEYOND THIS TIME WHICH OBVIOUSLY WILL BE CRITICAL TO THE
SEVERITY OF CERTAIN IMPACTS FROM THE STORM...COASTAL FLOODING AND
BEACH EROSION FOR EXAMPLE. SEE TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING SECTION FOR
MORE INFORMATION.

UPPER TROUGH DIGS WELL TO THE SOUTH. CYCLOGENESIS WILL OCCUR IN THE
GULF OF MEXICO AS A RESULT AND TRACK ACROSS FLORIDA. MEANWHILE
ANOTHER SHORTWAVE OVER BRITISH COLUMBIA WILL QUICKLY TRAVERSE
THROUGH THE FAST NW STEERING FLOW MON NIGHT AND TUE WITH THE LEFT
EXIT REGION OF ITS 110+ KT H25 UPPER JET BEING INJECTED INTO THE LOW
OFF THE SE COAST. THIS WILL AID IN RAPID INTENSIFICATION AS IT MOVES
PARALLEL TO THE EAST COAST THROUGH WED AND EVENTUALLY TURNING NE-E
AND OUT TO SEA THU/FRI. THE BLOCKING DOWNSTREAM WOULD LEAD TO A
SLOWER SOLUTION...THUS DISCOUNTING NAM. GFS TRENDED TOWARD
PREVIOUSLY SLOWER ECMWF.

A COLD AIRMASS WILL BE IN PLACE TO START WITH HIGH PRES RETREATING
TO THE NORTH. HOWEVER...MODELS CONTINUE TO TREND SLOWER WITH THE
ONSET OF PRECIP. THEREFORE...DO NOT FORESEE MUCH IN THE WAY OF
WINTRY PRECIPITATION AT THE START DUE TO THE LATER ONSET.

BOTTOM LINE...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE OCCURRING
SOMEWHERE OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC. HOWEVER...IT IS STILL HARD
TO PINPOINT EXACT FORECAST DETAILS AT THIS TIME DUE TO
TIMING/POSITIONAL DIFFERENCES...BUT CONFIDENCE IS GROWING FOR A
POTENTIAL HEAVY RAIN AND HIGH/STRONG WIND EVENT.

STRONG...GUSTY WINDS ARE BECOMING MORE LIKELY. SUSTAINED SPEEDS
RANGING BETWEEN 20-35 MPH WITH GUSTS BETWEEN 45 TO 60 MPH IS A
DEFINITE POSSIBILITY. HIGHEST WINDS WILL BE AT THE COAST AND IN
HIGHER TERRAIN.

You again with your silly little flag.

Nor’Easter will hit Sandy recovery zones hard, bring inland snow

[link to www.examiner.com]

Was going to ask if HAARP was back on... .

People around here are absolutely not ready for another round of anything, much less a quake.

A few people are talking about moving. Either further inland or completely out of the area. Unfortunately, not many who were really hit have that option.

Gas lines a long b/c people from NY and NJ are coming to CT. One line with people w/gas cans, the other w/cars.

Thanks for another heads up DB.

Oh dear, what next?

Thanks Doorbert!

Nice.

Quake-tard and Weather-tard all in one.

Thanks for the updates Doorbert

Earthquakes are not caused by hurricanes or winter storms. There is absolutely no evidence for that assertion.
