As predicted by the National Hurricane Center in Miami, Sandy’s barometric pressure has dropped to an astonishing 946 millibars and its winds have increased to 85MPH, as it moves north at 15 mph.
Although a hurricane at present, Sandy is expected to transition into a post-tropical storm later today as it merges with a trough from the west and cold Arctic air.
This transition will not diminish the storm’s impact, which is expected to be experienced over a wide area.
This from the 5am Advisory on Hurricane Sandy.
