NWS is headlining the potential for heavy rain, etc. even on the local
forecasts down here in Arizona. NOAA/NHC also shows a left turn in the track
of Sandy which is getting tighter with each forecast update. The 1100 EDT
forecast shows Sandy as making landfall on the Jersey coast as a strong
tropical storm. The previous plot (0800 EDT) had landfall towards the east end
of Long Island. This is a significant change.
