am19psu Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Though Adam said the Euro ensemble members were very similar to the OP? We'll see, I guess. The Euro ENS does go east of the ops after landfall, but not by much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 what are the chances that this just grazes the NC Coast and we get clouds and a few sprinkles only? It's like you can see the future. High, is my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Irene looks to be pretty large at landfall at least. I'm hoping the center does pass to our east. SE quadrant pretty much falls apart shortly after landfall so being in the NW quadrant seems like the most fun even if it is just some rain a breezes.

Ian Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 Worse is that the true eastward shift doesn't normally take place until inside 48 hours. we've got time for a good move i just can't remember one a tropical cyclone ever bending back to the west after it goes east for 2-3 days. yeah, i know it's happened... just wait till the euro skims the coast at 12z.

(this is where my lack of real wx skills comes into play) it's mostly just riding up the edge of the atlantic subtropical ridge thru the weakness between it ant the conus subtropical ridge. http://www.nco.ncep....fs_500_042m.gif the shortwave troughs help shape it/perhaps pull it north a bit. u can see the first moving from dc north (weak) with another digging behind there.

wxmeddler Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Ah... so for it to stay west, I guess the weakness between the two ridges would need to shift west a bit? Yes, but that's not the variable that is most likely to change. It's the second s/w that is the key here. If it's sharper it will be pulled into the coast.

Ian Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 Looks like the MA forum experts have closed down this storm threat. Outside intensity and formation it's mainly synoptics.
