Vortex recon was 946mb. Not sure where the 937mb came from - saw it somewhere else also.

Sandy's center is now visible on long range radar out of New Jersey.

It concerns me, that the isn't modifying the track, to reflect the later and less intense turn thus far, and are just keeping the original track, as the most intense winds are to the south and west of center, and will likely track somewhere to the north of the 12 hour ago predicted path. This means that northern NJ will likely see more intense rain, wind, and likely more impacting a storm of us in boston. Yes it may be only 20-50 miles difference, but in a congested city coastline, it makes a difference. It makes a difference to us, as now it means the north shore is now likely to get flooding north of boston, instead of just the south facing beaches.
In the end, we will all be affected. I just wonder how affected the hurricane will be by the front, as deep as the hurricane part is.

I just checked the track. It's pretty much right on the track, maybe a slight northward wobble, but pretty close.

It is also amazing that with a storm of this size within 4 hours, the changed not only the direction dramatically but also the speed - from 18 to 28 mph.
I think they need better forecasting models, more frequent reporting or something. - This 4 hour period changed things dramatically (between the 11:00 AM Oct 29 Outlook and the 3:00 PM Outlook.
It is not funny how The Weather Channel is trying to cover this change. Their meteorologist photos are great (although they do what we should not). Sorry, just a rant. Doug

But the acceleration westward was predicted...
What do you want the to do? This has been a very well forecast storm thus far even in light of its unprecedented nature.

The storm arrived on time, as predicted, and behaved exactly as advertised. Much to the surprise of too many people.
The only criticism I have heard from a knowledgable source (Bastardi) was that declassified it too soon, as at land fall it was still very much a tropical system, albeit very sheared, and behaved accordingly. I have to say the picture made by AVN-infrared, as the center of circulation touched the New Jersey coast line at about 8:00 p.m. last night was classic...It showed a multi-layred cloud bank surrounding the small circulation center, which had become exposed by the shearing off of the higher cloud tops to the west. It was a classic view and I wish I had saved it. To me, it was still very much a tropical system at that exact moment.

Technical question: IF Sandy was declassified before the COC made land fall did a hurricane make land fall on the New Jersey shore last night?

I think they did declassify a bit early, but that is just from watching the news, and seeing the timing of the storm ect. We're getting the remnants of this "storm" now, like... the rain, and other bands ect. that arent even combined into the PTC anymore... its just a bunch of cold fronts coming through with remnants from storm according to the news... purple lightning... still somewhat windy... I pray those in NY, NJ. MD, CT and elsewhere are safe.

From the top right corner of flhurricane page: "Number of days since last Hurricane Landfall in US: 1 (Sandy), in Florida: 2563 (Wilma)"
Officially, though, insurance co's etc. might argue for a more specific call on this...
I, for one, think the and NWS made a very bad decision on how to handle this storm. Just sayin'

As expected (unfortunately) Sandy will go down in the record books. It is really hard to see some of images out of this area. I like many others have family in NYC area and they received quite a bit of damage from talking with them this evening. It is crazy to here officials mention how global warming effected this storm???Are you kidding me that is just crazy. More like we are in an active period/cycle right now. My prayers go out to all those effected...
