Storms looking worse and worse...

All though models currently show a storm not as bad as the recent one, it still may be a bad storm, and for some it could be worse than the last storm... but once again, the overall affect won't be as bad... at least thats how it looks now... I say that because compared to yesterday the models show a much stronger storm... Unfortunatley the storm is only 48-84 hours away, and still so many questions and confusions on the storm... Some show a monster storm with tropical characteristics, heading straight up the east coast bringing 2-4 inches of rain and again wind gusts potentially reaching 60 mph... Others show it only hitting certain locations, and other details that are not clear at all at this time... Just like with the other storm, some models are now showing a stream of atlantic moisture feeding into the east coast, and potentially a real tropical system which would be named ottow to the south of the first system... Most models bring it very close to the U.S. coast but then quickly shoot it out to sea... The track is not set in stone by any means so its possible it because a real problem mid to late week... So for now, there is likely going to be a nor'easter type storm developing tonight and hitting the northeast coast by monday or tuesday, with a stream of potential moisture feeding into the storm, and maybe even a tropical system on the southern end... So far, this storm looks it may be on track to be very similar to the last one...
