ATL: SANDY - Remnants - Discussion

[SouthernBreeze]

Hi all, I'm at the NC/SC line, on the coast - they are showing a definite curve before it gets too near here - does anyone know if the timing of the curve seem pretty definite, or if there much chance of Sandy getting a good bit closer before she curves east? THANKS!!

[CrazyC83]

Latest data suggest that the intensity is at least 75 kt.

here is West Palm, this is the winds so far -
Wind SpeedE 22 G 29 mph

[Aric Dunn]

landfall in about 3 to 4 hours.

Hey everyone!

I'm in Salisbury at the moment and one of the models I was looking at, showed a landfall right on the Delmarva Peninsula, just south of Ocean City, MD.

Given that the NHC has shifted their cone to the west a tad bit, should I be concerned at all or is Sandy likely to recurve before making it that far north?

The models show some rain and wind for your area on Saturday but nothing that bad as of now. The models have consistently kept Sandy pretty offshore from you for a while now. But you'll need to keep checking through tomorrow in case there's a change.

Based on the current track what kind of conditions can we expect in West Palm Beach?

[gatorcane]

You can really see the eye now...will make it easier to track.

Curious myself. Wonder if they will close down courts/schools on Friday?

There it is. Saved image.

Still slightly east of due north...I peg it at perhaps 005 degrees...

I really dont like how sandy is getting stronger all my life ive waited for a storm to hit up here like this could.. but now that it might actually happen im having second thoughts

Prob. Won't be much worse then Irene last year. I could be wrong but I don't think so...

strong curved convective band building. probably going to deepen rapidly. dont think Jamaica is going to have to much affect on it since its in its deepening phase.

And it will move thru the smaller part of land of Jamaica,although there are some mountains of 2,000 feet in that small area.

Subject to change of course depending on track

If the track of Sandy continues to shift west. Does anyone think that Hurricane watches and warnings will be needed for parts of Florida?

There is nothing to indicate a potential hurricane impact in Florida, so I wouldn't anticipate any such watches/warnings.

I would have to disagree with you since the duration will be longer.

except for the reliable models indicating the potential for near hurricane force winds.
