As of Saturday morning, Joaquin’s track had turned away from the U.S.
Earlier this week, the National Hurricane Center scared us all with a warning that this massive storm named Joaquin could head our way. Yet, the European forecast model — the one that picked up Sandy’s eventual track early on — disagreed, and by week’s end, after hand-wringing and planning, Joaquin is now forecast to wander the sea. It has raised doubts regarding the U.S. forecast models, and in New York, it led the MTA to cancel most weekend work. An MTA spokesman told me they had to reassign personnel for storm prep and couldn’t move forward with work. That’s a “damned if you don’t” situation, and I can’t fault the MTA for careful planning.
Thus, there ain’t much happening this week. Enjoy it while you can.

We cannot predict Mother Nature, but we can focus on the current, future trends on the global climate.
