Major or Minor storm on the way?

Weather Forecast:
Part 1: Very quick update on what could be a pretty bad storm...

Part 1:

Just quickly glancing at a couple of the models, the potential is there for a potentially major storm come tomorrow and into Tuesday... It looks like Virginia, DC, and just to the south of Philly, this storm is likely going to strike badly, but north of there the forecast gets complicated... Right now the WRF model shows this storm the worst... What it seems to show is a storm riding along I-95 with heavy rains, some potentially strong winds, and occasional severe storms... Tomorrow the storm will be right along the mid-Atlantic region from FL to DC... By tomorrow night the storm will take one of two paths... It either stays along I-95 and slams Philly, NYC, and up toward Boston, or it turns out to sea with just a couple of showers for Philly, NYC, and Boston... The WRF, though, really shows a bad storm with tropical like features... According to the weather channel, weather.com, and Accuweather, this storm, as of right now, is nothing too bad for the Northeast, but could easily shift its track... Of course this is something we will monitor over the next 2 days, before the storm is gone...
