Any west or east shifts in the Euro as Sandy approaches FL/NW Bahamas?

70 knots, with two little patches of 80 knot winds. Of course, this is at the 850 mb level.

Compared to yesterday's 12Z run, Euro might be a tad west and slower. Winds are a bit higher for the Florida east coast too.

Hey guys... I've been lurking here for a while, but a quick question... Am I seeing this correctly that this latest euro run has Sandy coming in farther south, along the Chesapeake Bay, 96-120 hours out, or am I looking at this completely wrong? :double:

You are seeing that correctly.

This isn't the usual steering deal. Usually we're used to see systems pushed west by building high pressure to the north.

This time, Sandy will be "pulled" westward by the flow around the negatively-tilted trough over the upper midwest, it's acting like a magnet.

Moreover, the Sandy will have a lot of energy injected into it from that weather system. That baroclinic forcing will make this much larger than a normal tropical system. Winds will be very strong well north of the center. Could be historic.

This isn't without precedent, this has happened a lot of times over the years. It just hasn't happened since the internet has been around, so this a new experience for a lot of weather people.

The model may not have the correct depiction, but if you look at 500mb with the shape of the trough and the block to the NE the storm has no were to go except WNW.

In this case (noting the graphic just posted) there will be a strong high well to the north, the flow between that ridge and the inverted trough will create a super-highway in the steering layer, so to speak...and Sandy will be sling-shotted into the US coast.

Interesting the 0Z GFS from overnight missed the connection, but all of the other models since then have not.

Absolutely. Theres no doubt that with the setup in place the storm will be drawn westward, i just think the 12Z Euro pulls it a little too drastically west. Not to further doomsday NY/NJ scenarios, but with the forward speed they're talking i just see it hooking left and doing more of a NW hook before it heads more WNW and impacting further north. Chesapeake just seems to drastically right angled for that huge and powerful of a storm

Well defined warm-core with Sandy prior to landfall at +96 hrs, cold air builds over land.
