Tropical Storm Sandy has formed in the Caribbean, and is shown at the latest satellite image as a big mess of showers and thunderstorms. If we take a closer look, however, we can see that these showers and storms are actually moving in a cycling fashion, which would indicate the presence of a center of circulation.
I do not feel comfortable going over the models today, as each model has taken massive steps away from yesterday's runs, telling me that this is just a bad situation for the models to be involved in. However, as the recon aircraft investigated Sandy today, it did gather crucial data that will be fed into the 0z model suite tonight. Whatever forecasts come out of the models should be taken against previous forecasts, as data from inside Sandy is a crucial tool.
If you really want to see the models, none of which I endorse at the moment, they are below.
