Why is Sandy predicted to curve back inland?
I'm watching the track of Hurricane Sandy (http://www.weather.com/weather/hurricanecentral/tracker) and from a simple minded extrapolation I would have drawn a track continuing due North or North-East. Why is the projected track curving back inland?

- mjn 14y agoThere's some explanation here: http://epawablogs.com/the-great-halloween-hybrid-named-sandy-2/ http://epawablogs.com/the-great-halloween-hybrid-named-sandy... The gist is that there's a high-pressure system sitting over Greenland, and a large storm over the mid-Atlantic, which are predicted to push it westwards, where it'll interact with and be pulled into an existing continental weather system.
