STORMCAST: PERHAPS NOT IMPENDING DEATH
The new spaghetti plots are out. They’re still cheesy… but perhaps lacking in garlic.
The over-under on the Eagles-Redskins game has already dipped from 47.5 to 45, likely due to Joaquin’s anticipated climb up the East Coast. Should it (he?) make its way into the mid-Atlantic, the game could potentially be moved to Week 8, when both the Eagles and Redskins have bye weeks (I’m sure rich players who undoubtedly have rich vacations and such planned are just thrilled at this prospect). But the latest reports this morning say that Joaquin could – could – head out to sea.
There’s still the potential for a direct hit just about anywhere, and though the storm has intensified to a Category 3 probably-going-to-kill-you hurricance, it has slowed and its path has become more unpredictable– sort of like a late-career Allen Iverson:

Overnight runs of computer models have shifted Joaquin on a more easterly track. Most models ( not all) now have it missing NC

Spaghetti plots ALL OVER THE PLACE! Basically, the cone of uncertainty has expanded and shifted its east border, well, eastward. The center takes Joaquin directly to Atlantic City for a raucous night of drinking, gambling, and major coastal erosion, but that’s merely the average of all plots combined. In other words: no one knows. But there’s now a slightly better chance it goes out to sea and doesn’t really impact the area or the Eagles game– order those by whichever you feel is more important.
