Sandy likely to slam Mid-Atlantic Coast

Sandy is forecast to slam the Mid-Atlantic Coast early this week. Although the storm will likely make landfall early Tuesday morning, wind and surge impacts will likely begin to worsen on Monday. This image from the GFS model forecasts Sandy to be wound up with a steep pressure gradient, centered off the Delaware or New Jersey Coast on Monday afternoon.
