Watching Sandy's Forecasted Path...

Sandy will keep an area of high pressure from moving out of our region over the next several days here in the Quad Cities.  But, for the East Coast, Sandy means heavy rain, damaging winds, flooding, and heavy snow.

Stormcast (as of Saturday afternoon) shows the area of high pressure just hanging out over the Midwest while Sandy churns her way northward along the Eastern Seaboard. 

Right now, forecasters are expecting Sandy to go from a Hurricane into an extratropical system by the end of the weekend. 

Stormcast is forecasting Sandy to make landfall as an extratropical system sometime on Monday over the Mid-Atlantic states.  We'll keep you posted.
