Current indications are that a storm will spin up just off the Atlantic coast this weekend. One scenario swings that storm westward with heavy rain, gusty winds and rough seas.
Forecasts from the eastern part of the Carolinas to the I-95 mid-Atlantic and New England this weekend into next week are contingent on the track and strength of a storm expected to form offshore.
A non-tropical system moving off the East coast could capture tropical moisture and a weak tropical system in such a way to spin up a major storm this weekend and may produce nasty weather in some Atlantic Seaboard locations.
The potential system off the Atlantic coast this weekend is not likely to be purely tropical but would likely be a hybrid.
If this storm develops you may start hearing some forecasters mentioning some similarities to Super Storm Sandy's weather patterns and path of 2012. Remember, that's all these references are - similarities - a blocking high which may cause this hybrid to turn westward being the major one.
If it develops and does travel up the coast it will not be a tropical storm... it will be nothing more than a real early nor'easter or a "September Slider" if you will, with winds of 30 to 40 mph affecting our area starting late Sunday morning, early afternoon (well between astronomically low high tides).
Nothing to get crazy about!
That being said, if it does develop we will monitor it and advise you of its status as it moves.
