'Frankenstorm' heading to Canada's East Coast next week, worst of its weather mayhem will focus around New York City and New Jersey. (Global).An unusual, nasty mix of a hurricane and a winter storm that forecasters are now calling "Frankenstorm" is likely to blast most of the U.S. and Canadian East Coast next week.
The worst of its weather mayhem will focus around New York City and New Jersey - although Canadian cities such as Halifax and Montreal are likely to feel the brunt as well.
André Cantin, a meteorologist for Environment Canada told Global News that the exact place where the storm will hit is still uncertain. "Models differ in Europe, the U.S. and Canada but as the storm gets closer, the forecast will become focused and over the weekend, it will become more precise." It is likely to hit during a full moon when tides are near their highest, increasing coastal flooding potential, forecasts from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) warn. “The computer models have been converging on a very scary outcome for the U.S northeast coastal areas," notes Global News meteorologist Anthony Farnell.
The storm is a combination of Hurricane Sandy, now in the Caribbean, an early winter storm in the West, and a blast of arctic air from the North. They are predicted to collide and park over the country's most populous coastal corridor and reach as far inland as Ohio in the U.S. and Ontario in Canada. "The storm still has several days over the warm Gulf Stream before a possible landfall early next week," predicts Farnell.
"There is still quite a bit of uncertainty in the track of the storm but one thing is becoming increasingly certain, this will be a monster storm affecting millions of Americans and Canadians for several days.”
There has been some comparison to the so-called 'Perfect Storm' that hit New England in 1991, but according to Cisco that storm is not comparable to what this hybrid storm could do. 
Masters agreed, saying: "The Perfect Storm only did $200 million of damage and I'm thinking a billion. Yeah, it will be worse."
With all these projections for what could happen along the U.S. Atlantic coast and New England, residents of Canada's East Coast should be keeping an eye on this as well. If the forecasts for this hybrid storm turn out to be correct, and it turns into a major snowstorm that buries New England, it's not likely to spare the Atlantic provinces a similar dose of winter weather as it passes through.
