Hybrid of Sandy, winter storm threatens East Coast By SETH BORENSTEIN | Associated Press – 3 hrs ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — Much of the U.S. East Coast has a good chance of getting blasted by gale-force winds, flooding, heavy rain and maybe even snow early next week by an unusual hybrid of hurricane and winter storm, federal and private forecasters say. Though still projecting several days ahead of Halloween week, the computer models are spooking meteorologists. Government scientists said Wednesday the storm has a 70 percent chance of smacking the Northeast and mid-Atlantic. Hurricane Sandy in the Caribbean, an early winter storm in the West, and a blast of arctic air from the North are predicted to collide, sloshing and parking over the country's most populous coastal corridor starting Sunday. The worst of it should peak early Tuesday, but it will stretch into midweek, forecasters say. "It'll be a rough couple days from Hatteras up to Cape Cod," said forecaster Jim Cisco of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration prediction center in College Park, Md. "We don't have many modern precedents for what the models are suggesting." It is likely to hit during a full moon when tides are near their highest, increasing coastal flooding potential, NOAA forecasts warn. And with some trees still leafy and the potential for snow, power outages could last to Election Day, some meteorologists fear. They say it has all the earmarks of a billion-dollar storm........................>>>>.................>>>>..........................http://news.yahoo.com/hybrid-sandy-winter-storm-threatens-east-coast-064040714.html

Most of the models are pushing the storm closer to the east coast...which is very bad.. There is one model (NAM) that is sending across FLA into the gulf...either way, its going to bad for someone. Blowing out to sea is a long shot at this time. This could be WORSE than Irene...
