Hurricane Irene and the mid-Atlantic (Pre-game show)

Do you have to douse my hopes of rain with every post? :P

im not.. i was implying its "too be expected" that the nam is falling in line with the global powerhouse models. 2 nights ago at 84 i said it matched close to the euro on final position but it was going to be in "spray" mode for a while after.. which it was. now this may not be the final answer but it's getting closer. euro/gfs blend... tho maybe 18 hours out the nam will figure out where the exact heaviest strip may be (or more likely the output of that stripe).

EasternUSWx over on the main board said the last few ticks, she's been moving 353 degrees, a bit west of due north, where she was moving due north prior to that. Might be a little wobble, a trend, or nothing. We'll see.

Without question you can see the slight jog west on the visible. It is evident for at least the last 30 minutes to hour.

Whenever I pass along news of "evacuating" I replace it with the word "abandoning." It seems cooler, more apocalyptic. Seriously...what kind of damage are places like OCMD, Bethany DE, looking at? Bethany just repumped their beaches, to the extent you can't see the ocean from the 'bored'walk. Its not looking good for them.

the storm is not strengthening.. it's just big. i think this is good news for us. our biggest problem would be if it passed by as a tight storm etc.

If it can maintain TS force winds 290 miles out we would easily get TS winds. However, they will diminish once over land. So that should shrink up a good bit.

wind was never likely to be a big deal. but oh the sound of many wishcaster balloons up north popping.

what for winds did we have with Isabel? 30 with higher gusts? i remember it was windy as hell. we had a lot of power outages and trees down the lower Susq. valley

Well I remember a lot of wind in Isabel but to be fair - we were on her western side which probably helped a good bit.
