Rut roh. Looks like 18z GFS into delmarva/southern Jersey as building surface and mid level ridge off the new england coast steer the storm into the coast. Helped by cutoff 500 mb over the SE US too.

this should be fully tropical unlike sandy. so the large impacts wont be as bad. but the localized impacts at initial landfall would be extreme then with flooding and surge as it rides the coast.

Re: ATL: JOAQUIN - Models
If these models were to actually pan out, it would be the worst hurricane in DC history by FAR.

I would personally estimate low 950s given that the last offshore pressure was 948 and rising slowly.

Wow... That would be historic and horrific. Did you see the cyclonic loop?

Or Baltimore. Think of the inner harbor damage alone.

Re: ATL: JOAQUIN - Models
I'm in southbury CT so this is worrying me. Even if it doesn't directly hit me it could still drop trees and knock out power. Is it still too early to tell if it's gonna be a left hooked or go out towards east MA/ME?

Okay guys, just because I want to BE a meteorologist, want to go to school for meteorology, DOES NOT MAKE ME A METEOROLOGIST. Anything I say about tropical weather is either me learning something new, or is just an opinion and nothing more than that. I can almost guarantee you that I will be wrong about pretty much everything.

I live in Fredericksburg, and the fact that Isabel is the worst most people can remember is kind of terrifying.

**NOT saying this is going to happen AT ALL. But this has presented a good opportunity to bring up how unprepared Delmarva is.

Re: ATL: JOAQUIN - Models
Purely by pressure, HWRF has this as a major by mid-tomorrow night, Cat 4 by Thursday evening.
