STRONG NOR’EAST OFF EAST COAST TOMORROW TO WEEKEND

Formidable storm this weekend. Watch for a strong Nor’easter possibly transitioning to a tropical entity as it heads up the east coast.

Canadian GEM hi res develops a weak STS off the NJ coast by Friday morning. I’ve seen this happen before with similar set-ups. Lots “o” instability and from time to time the convective feedback is real.
