Too early to know for sure, but there's a soup bubbling up where nor'easters bubble up. The Weather Channel is not yet calling for it, but our people are saying it is possible.
The woman who does our weather closed her weather report with an admonition to take advantage of early voting.

(28,758 posts)It has to do with a high pressure system over Greenland. It does look as though the northeast is going to see more rain in the coming days, but nothing as bad as Sandy yet still enough to hamper recovery efforts which is bad enough, imho. See:

The weather pattern that meteorologists say helped turn Hurricane Sandy toward the New Jersey coast is expected to persist next week and could bring more wet and windy weather, forecasters say.
A high pressure system settled over Greenland is credited with affecting much of Sandy's path. The system acts literally as a blockade for weather systems moving from the west. The Weather Underground's Jeff Masters explains more about the phenomenon in this blog post.
This week, it meant Sandy and the frontal system moving in from the west could not move to the northeast toward Greenland and instead converged over the mid-Atlantic. Some say it isn't expected to change soon, opening up the East Coast for more low pressure systems over the next week.
