This one looks just about as tightly wound as the last one depending
on where you are. Should start heating up on Sunday and Monday.

Batten down the hatches.

What program is the shot from?

It's called "Viewfax". It gives you a variety of options for
downloading and displaying the GFS weather model. You can get it
he

It's an easy install but usage and interpretation involve a bit of a
learning curve. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll try to
help.

Two years ago I was able to identify the weather system that
eventually became Hurricane Sandy before anyone else was talking about
it.



Heh. You are talking about a nor'easter that nobody around here have
mentioned yet. I mentioned it to my wife and she looked at me like I
had two heads.

Be interesting to see what develops.


Is this a projection of what the low pressure area around the Virgin
Islands is going to do?


===

No, the low pressure area near the VI moves off to mid-ocean and kind
of fizzles. The one neaded for New England looks like it will form
off Cape Hatteras on Saturday afternoon and then go up the coast.
