It's not often that a Nor'easter centered more than 600 miles out to sea brings heavy snow and and major coastal flooding to New England, but Winter Storm Saturn is a one-of-a-kind. The massive storm, which was centered about 600 miles east-southeast of New York City at 7 am EST, sprawls out over a huge area of ocean more than 1000 miles across. While the central pressure of 988 mb is not exceptionally low for a Nor'easter, the sheer size of the storm is allowing Saturn to pile up a formidable storm surge, which hammered the coast of Eastern Massachusetts during the Friday morning high tide cycle, causing severe erosion, widespread street flooding, and damage to roads and houses.

Tropical Cyclone Sandra (TC 19P) in Southern Pacific Ocean is gaining more strength. Sandra was upgraded from a Category 1 to Category 2 tropical cyclone overnight with the possibility of an upgrade to Category 3 tomorrow and Category 4 on Monday. Sandra’s central convection strengthened over the storm’s center since the previous day, which indicates that Sandra is gaining strength.

 

According to latest report by Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), Tropical Cyclone Sandra is located approximately 645 nm northwest of Noumea, New Caledonia, and is moving eastward at 06 knots over the past six hours. Sandra is expected to continue to move southeast, sparing Queensland’s coastline. Some swells in coastal waters are expected towards the end of next week. Residents of New Caledonia should prepare for impacts from Sandra early next week.  Sandra is expected to pass west of New Caledonia on March 12, and bring heavy rain, possible flooding, strong winds and rough surf.
