MDstorm Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 00Z Saturday Euro: Landfall near Morehead City. Then just east of VA Beach to just east of OC. Irene then parallels southern Jersey coast and makes landfall just east of NYC. From there...who cares? MDstorm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathercoins Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Winds now 90 MPH... Does this thing really stay a hurricane up to NYC? Hmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethesdaWX Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 LWX Increased wind gusts again, probably in response to the 06z GFS coming west with Irene. NAM winds are less which makes sense (50mph sustained is way too high). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeWinds Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 LWX Increased wind gusts again, probably in response to the 06z GFS coming west with Irene. NAM winds are less which makes sense (50mph sustained is way too high). NWS raised my winds but lowered the gusts a tad. Was 21-25 with gusts to 48. Now 26-33 with gusts to 46. Most significant is the adding of the phrase "some t'storms could be severe" and the reduction to rainfall totals. Now going with max of 1.25 for my area (was closer to 2-3" last night).

samdman95 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Do I spy N or even NW movement? http://www.ssd.noaa....s/flash-wv.html It definitely seems to look that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Do I spy N or even NW movement? http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/east/eaus/flash-wv.html It definitely seems to look that way It's a wobble. you need to average like 6 hours of position fixes to get an accurate motion.
