Ian Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 Ian, along those lines, if it were to stay over NC for a time and weaken, would that allow the precip shield to spread out and help lessen that sharp cutoff to the west? im not completely sure on specifics but it seems like it would. at our point in the track what we probably wont most is for it to be as transitory as possible. once it goes that way i dont think it's coming back even if it managed to get itself over a good stretch of water. plus, more simply, the further west it is in nc the closer it will be to us when it passes. back as far west as you are im not sure i'd hold out lots of hope for super big rain, but i dont see why you cant get some.

Swiscaster Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I am on travel in Portsmouth, NH and have not had a chance to monitor this storm much and I need quick info: did the storm track jog back east on the models since this afternoon? Not sure if I should fly back to DC tomorrow to get back to the family or stay up here until Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteoutMD Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 NAM looks west do other think that? And can I get of 5 post max and how? Thanks to whoever can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchnick Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I haven't followed this closely other than local qpf, etc., but it sure looks to me that there is a trough to the east of Irene that's starting to effect Irene's outflow and otherwise encroach to a point of disturbing it http://wxweb.meteost...tellite/AON/WV/ anyone know if that trough to the east of Irene was on the models all along?

yoda Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Irene LOOKS NW at 00z NAM at 36 on h5 when you comapre it to the 18z 42 h5 map... but I dunno if thats because it sped up or not... we shall see what the later frames reveal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree completely. I have no illusions at this point. Was hoping for 1 inch. Never know, that could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the 500 maps, it looks like that trough over the lakes "snapped" it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchnick Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 It's odd seeing Mitch be negative for a storm. actually, I'm not certain yet if its negative or not if the trough drops south further west, that will still result in a big event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathercoins Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I have no idea where you are since you don't have your location in your profile (please include it), but right now west of the Blue Ridge it looks like we'll get very little rain from Irene. I apologize! Was actually evacuated from OBX so sitting in traffic In VA on way back to Balt county now, so on my phone and unable to see locations without clicking on each name. Will update my location when I get home. Sorry to hear about your continuous lack of rain out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 people don't really learn....with a tropical system we need a proper track and/or rain that isn't associated with the storm (i.e frontrunning precip or associated with a front).....the track will keep shifting....we could get totally screwed.....Isabel looked like a lock for massive rain and we got 2"-ish.....why are people getting deterministic with this storm?....Who has the balls to say they have no idea what will happen?....I do....I have no idea what will happen...We could get 6" of rain or 1"....I don't know and I won't know until it happens...I may have a better idea tomorrow night.......There is not a single person including mets who I think know what impacts will be in DC...none..... hard to argue with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
