Pressure Gradient

[Tip]

Various models have the Quebec high pressure at strengths from 1024mil to 1032mil when Iszzy approaches the coastline. This would be a great setup for a blizzard in the NE in winter, but instead of dealing with a 986mil low, the NE will be dealing with a possible 960 low. This will translate to a huge pressure difference over a relatively small area. So regardless of the landfalling wind speed of Izzy, the easterly wind fetch will be of a long duration and potentially extremely damaging to the coast line from NC northward. Any thoughts?

I haven't looked at it in that respect, but we would normally be talking about alot of breach erosion during one of our Nor'easters. Add Izzy on top of that, and we may be talking about "boardwalk erosion" as well!
