Here's the US National Weather Summary for Monday,October 29,2012,as of 10:30PM,EDT/7:30PM,PDT,October 29,2012,from weatherunderground.com, enjoy:
Hurricane Sandy continued to make its incredible approach to the Mid Atlantic coast Monday and was expected to make landfall along the south New Jersey coast sometime in the early evening Monday. The landfall of Sandy, however, may be a bit of a footnote due to her expanse and strength. Very heavy rain preceded landfall as several increase of rain fell in the Mid Atlantic. The heaviest rain fell in Delaware, Maryland, and adjacent areas of Virginia. The National Weather Service is predicting 8-10 inches of rain in the Baltimore area by the time Sandy weakens.
The other significant note from Sandy is the storm surge. Surges from New Jersey through New York City have already reached comparable levels to what they were last year with Hurricane Irene, with the worst yet to come in the evening. By the time high tide arrives in the evening, storm surges could add 10 feet to these tides levels. This storm surge magnitude could do significant damage to the New Jersey coast, Long Island Sound, and New York City.
Winds have also been significant with wind gusts to 80 mph already at the mouth of the Long Island Sound. This wind was only expected to increase into the evening as the Mid Atlantic will experience sustained winds to 70 mph and much higher wind gusts.
Another interesting aspect of Sandy has been the cold air that is streaming southward from Canada to meet the storm. Blizzard Warnings were posted in West Virginia and North Carolina as 4-8 inches of snow fell in some areas, while up to 12 inches of snow was expected by the time the storm weakens.
It is very important for residents to pay attention to local officials and to remain inside during the peak of the storm in the evening and into Tuesday. If you have no reason to go outside, you are urged to stay inside.
