But wait, by 21z Saturday it's coming north and dropping pressures and strengthening heading in a Rhode Island ish direction

13z Sunday, it's headed west and retrograding. So odd to see a Nor'Easter do this, but then again, it's a hybrid system, not a true Nor'Easter. Think a less powerful version of Sandy/Halloween Storm '91.

I wonder why hybrid storms do this.

The one Mesomodel in testing came way west with precip area wide now. I think we have a concesus finally with minor details to iron out

The rgem run reminds me a lot like those tops you would spin as kids,  random and wonky patterns... it's just doing loop de loops up the east coast.

Both the GFS and EURO have shown this. It'll be fascinating to watch in real time. Like a strong hurricane hurricane wobbles, this storm will do the same.

Icon looks a bit west. Good looks like it's going be fun at work the next few days.  Back to laundry and sleep, maybe

Rgem just goes due west under long island and dies in New Jersey.

In scanning through the overnight model runs I am really struck by the remarkable agreement of the forthcoming wind storm about to ravage the area.  Model after model showing gusts to 40 - 60 mph from overnight Friday into Sunday.  It’s not just LI which will get the worst of it.  It includes NYC, NJ, SE NY, even into parts of eastern PA and then into southern New England.  Fully leafed trees and heavy rains look to combine with this to cause widespread power outages.

I'm really concerned that NWS is warning New England but not Long Island. I don't really believe Boston is going to get the same impact that Long Island is. In fact, I don't even think the low pressure, until its completely fizzled out, moves north Seaside Heights. Every model has this moving West. So why are placed like MA and RI getting the warnings and not Long Island? Upton is REALLY slow to pull the trigger here.

They are usually late to the party. Same thing during the winter. 

They might be hesitant though and want to see what happens with the runs today.

Every single model is in agreement on what happens. There's no model taking this into Maine and hitting Maine. This is a high impact storm that will impact millions of people. They need to hoist warnings up ASAP.

Hopefully nam just being the nam and was up all night drinking. I'd really rather not see any 978mb tempest sitting anywhere out there by later on today.

We do not need 5.4 inches of rain. Jesus Christ. I hope this is wrong.
