Friday Morning's Weather Discussion - European Model Gives Us Hope

A consensus is starting to develop that Sandy will come ashore between coastal Maryland and Eastern Long Island.  I am really starting to think though that the European model will be correct again with it showing landfall on coastal Maryland.  This would really save us the biggest headaches from this storm as the strongest winds and heaviest rains would then remain to our south.  I believe this will be the path of the storm at this time.  Coastal sections would be hit quite hard with this track though as the winds would continuously pound the beaches with huge waves and at a time of high tide too.  I am very hopeful that this track holds.  The American and British models continue to have Sandy in a much worse location, coming ashore between Sandy Hook and Coastal Long Island, which would be horrible for us, but the track that the European model takes would really be wonderful for us.  Stay tuned.
