Looks like a system between Bermuda and the Bahamas has the capability of bringing some nasty weather to the tristate region, it's worth keeping an eye on.... check your pumps for the flooded basement calls.

(CBS) NEW YORK A potentially major storm is brewing out in the Atlantic Ocean and could wreak havoc along the east coast, including New York City beginning Sunday, forecasters say.

The storm has been checked out by hurricane hunters and so far it hasn't been given a name or a number. It's a low pressure system sitting about 500 miles off the Carolina coast. As it continues to become more organized and escape the wind shear, computer models agree it will do a U-turn and push back in the direction of the east coast.

The thinking is once that wind shear is taken out of the equation, high pressure will push the system back up the coast. There are three computer models creating different paths of the storm.

In the first scenario, the storm goes over land in the Carolinas and weakens, which means it would bring heavy rain and tropical storm force wind at best to the tri-state region.

The second model shows the worst-case scenario for the area. The storm hugs the shore and stays over water, allowing it into intensify, possibly into a low-level hurricane, that could blow into the region.

For the third scenario, the most likely bet to happen, the storm stays off-shore and the western side of the system would bring significant winds and rain, but the bulk of the system would not hit the area.

In nine computer models tracking the storm, each one agreed the system would at least take that U-turn back toward the coast. Still, it's way too early to predict just how strong the system will become and forecast exactly what it will bring to the region. CBS 2 and wcbstv.com will continue to monitor the progress of this system.

Technically, we need to face north, inhale, turn south and exhale, but I had the weather rescheduled to Monday, just for you.

2nd that...I only got two shots so far this pay period! Unfortunately both day tours which are the worst in the world, not workload wise...people wise/brass wise.

Just don't want to work in fire if it floods again! What a mess that was back in April...no fun!
