Hurricane Warnings in Effect
| Atlantic: High Seas |
The Ocean Prediction Center and "Hurricane Sandy"
Hurricane Sandy crossed the Ocean Prediction Centers's Area of Responsibility on
October 28, 2012 and October 29, 2012. On those dates, Sandy moved directly
through the Mid-Atlantic Offshore Waters, and the North Atlantic High Seas Forecast Area.
The OPC issued the normal suite of analysis and forecast products throughout the event without interruption.
This allowed mariners in the vicinity of Sandy to remain informed about the potential for hazards associated with high winds and heavy seas.
The OPC also produced extratropical storm surge guidance in anticipation of Sandy
transitioning to a post-tropical low. Below are some of the analysis and forecast
products that were issued by the OPC during that time period.
