West of this system, a cold front continued moving eastward through the Great Lakes and up the Ohio River Valley. This system brought additional moisture and energy to the Northeast, which created scattered showers and thunderstorms from the Lower Great Lakes through eastern Kentucky and Tennessee. Cold air continued to pour in behind the front and created a chilly day across the Eastern Valleys. Meanwhile, out West, snow and rain showers persisted in the Pacific Northwest as a trough of low pressure brought moisture onshore from the Pacific Ocean.
Weather Underground midday recap for Sunday, October 28, 2012.
Hurricane Sandy continued to approach the Mid-Atlantic Coast on Sunday, which increased winds and brought heavy rains to the coast from the Carolinas through Delaware and New Jersey. The strong and broad storm stretched inland into the East Coast, while the center of the storm remained 270 miles southeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina and about 575 miles south of New York City. The storm remained at Category 1 strength with maximum sustained winds up to 75 mph and moved northeastward at 14 mph. Counter clockwise flow around this system pushed abundant moisture onshore, in addition to creating strong winds and dangerous surf. Mid-day rainfall totals for Sunday have ranged from 2 to 3 inches across the Mid-Atlantic states. Heaviest rainfall was reported at Hatteras, North Carolina with a mid-day total of 3.33 inches of rain. Strong winds and high seas were reported across the region as well. Sustained winds onshore ranged from 50 to 60 mph, with the highest wind gust reported at Atlantic City, New Jersey with a gust up to 115 mph. Storm surge created high seas over 3 feet above normal across parts of North Carolina. North Harlowe, North Carolina reported 4 feet above normal at Clubfoot Creek.
