New name - "Frankenstorm"

Will the TWC pick up on this name? LOL Ha ha..back to normal operations....

This could be a really big problem for the East Coast if the models verify....

New microwave shows that despite Sandy gong thru Cuba,the structure looks good.

cman station east of Biscayne bay is reporting 53mph winds.

and a ship east of the reporting sustained 43.

Does anyone know when that ULL to the west of Sandy is out of the picture?

[alienstorm]

And we just lost power in the Tamiami Airport Area

And we just lost power in the Tamiami Airport Area

So much for no effects from Sandy!

Between these reports and the loss of power at Taimiami Airport it sounds like we have some relatively strong winds approaching the SE coast of FL

[storm4u]

this might be devastating up here

...HIGH IMPACT MERGING OF ENERGETIC SYSTEMS ANTICIPATED OFF THE
MID ATLANTIC COAST...


PRELIMINARY UPDATE...

DESPITE A MODEST CLUSTER OF OUTLYING DETERMINISTIC SOLUTIONS AND
ENSEMBLE MEMBERS FROM THE VARIOUS MODELING CENTERS, THE LION'S
SHARE OF GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT THE CIRCULATION ASSOCIATED WITH
HURRICANE SANDY WILL PASS CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE AMPLIFYING POLAR
TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN UNITED STATES TO BECOME INCORPORATED INTO
A HYBRID VORTEX OVER THE MID ATLANTIC AND NORTHEAST NEXT TUESDAY.
THE HIGH DEGREE OF BLOCKING FROM EASTERN NORTH AMERICA ACROSS THE
ENTIRE ATLANTIC BASIN IS EXPECTED TO ALLOW THIS UNUSUAL MERGER TO
TAKE PLACE, AND ONCE THE COMBINED GYRE MATERIALIZES, IT SHOULD
SETTLE BACK TOWARD THE INTERIOR NORTHEAST THROUGH HALLOWEEN,
INVITING PERHAPS A GHOULISH NICKNAME FOR THE CYCLONE ALONG THE
LINES OF "FRANKENSTORM", AN ALLUSION TO MARY SHELLEY'S GOTHIC
CREATURE OF SYNTHESIZED ELEMENTS.

AS IS OFTEN THE CASE, WHEN ONE PART OF THE NATION IS EXPERIENCING
A VERY ENERGETIC ATMOSPHERE DISTURBANCE, THE REMAINDER IS
RELATIVELY CALM. THIS EVENT SHOULD NOT PROVE THE EXCEPTION, WITH A
FAIRLY BENIGN FEED OF PACIFIC AIR INTO MOST OF THE WESTERN AND
CENTRAL STATES. THE FAR WEST, PARTICULAR NORTH OF CALIFORNIA, WILL
HAVE ENOUGH SUSTAINED ONSHORE FLOW TO KEEP THE PERIOD WET AND
UNSETTLED.

Confused about where center really is now
Is that a Center - small spin just west of CDO (west of what loks like eye?) Is that eye rotating around another center.
Or -is that small spin - a ULL? (Near Cay Lobos, Cuba)

[cycloneye]

Indirect effects from Sandy with this big band in the Mona channel.I am watching it as it is inching closer to the west coast of PR. Saved loop.

I wouldn't think they'll get TS warnings in Savannah. It's too far west. Wxman57 what do you think?

[jlauderdal]

these guys are really biting on this west idea..nam and euro, gfs came west too a bit..sandy is clearly not going to be taking a very straight line through the duration of her life

Hurricane conditions will batter fla coast from West Palm to Cape Canat times.I like ECMWF turn west and loop to within 100 miles of coast


RyanMaue16 mins
Not sold on #Sandy inner-core surviving much longer. Looking ragged, could become part of large gyre -- and orbit westward.
