It's looking more likely that the storm will move close to New England as early as Sunday night.

"There is a consensus forming in weather forecast models that hurricane Sandy is unlikely to go out to sea," according to The Washington Post. WPRI.com reports Sandy's projected path has a 250-mile margin of error, with some models sending it to Delaware …

"In the event the storm gathers strength, it's best to be prepared and not take any risks," Chafee said during a press briefing at the Emergency Management Agency in Cranston Saturday evening.
