Potential to wet weather along the USA east coast. And of course the wet weather in the year 2014 is never simply a drizzle, now is it?

This is a weather of the Atlantic Ocean by Weather Underground (click here). I don't know how the link will translate because there are options to the right of the map that provide a specific view by the user.

But, what interests me are the three red dots across the equatorial Atlantic.

The Hurricane season in the Atlantic have been fairly anemic this year and that is about 'available' water vapor in the troposphere, etc., but, the velocity of the storms have picked up later in the season with a category 3 in mid-September and a category 4 in mid-October.

To the right is the "Track Map" of hurricanes this season from UNISYS (click here). Hurricanes are identified by human names. Edouardo was the category 3 storm and Gonzalo was the category 4.

Edouardo was a category 3 at 31.10 longitude. Conzalo was a category 4 twice beginning at 23.5 longitude and then again at 25.3 longitude. What does that mean? The sparse season has primarily existed over ocean without impacting populated areas except for Bermuda as of late and Arthur which attained category 2 brushed the east coast. The Atlantic location of the storms have been moving closer to the North American east shoreline.

Currently, there is a frigid air mass which can be noted over the Midwest US in the map at the top descending from Canada. 
  

This is the track from Superstorm Sandy in 2012. The center circulation of the storm came ashore over the Metropolitan Area of NJ-NY in late October. 

Currently the tropical disturbances across the equatorial Atlantic are not considered to be significant. That has been status for this season. However, it is only prudent to mention hot air that was Sandy met frigid air and became a killer of 150 people. 

I'm just sayin'.

If would expect the worst to occur beginning next week going forward. Sandy did a great deal of damage because of it's size, not simply because of it's location.

Superstorm Sandy (click here) struck the Northeast two years ago this week, killing more than 150 people. It caused an estimated $65 billion worth of damage; more than 650,000 homes were damaged or destroyed. Sandy's powerful winds plus its sheer size—it extended 500 miles from its center—caused record storm surges, flooding, and power outages that affected as many as 8.5 million people in 21 states....

I decided to take a look at the ocean temperature map. the temperature is significant and it travels along the USA east coast following the Gulf Stream north. There is also noted negative (-) cloud to ground temperatures which invites significant turbulence. The notation is a - sign and is currently over Nicaragua now experiencing tropical disturbance.
