yeah, this thread is just teeming with good tropical discussion...

there will be a new one started this evening that will be more moderated

It's kind of hard to take something serious that is pretty much a week away, especially when the thread was started when the storm was 200 + hours away. Can we have a Irene banter thread and a regular moderated one?

It's not like a winter event where the main system forms a day or two before effects in the region start. The storm is currently active and its progress right now will have an effect on how it impacts us down the road.

Reading this thread from work today, it has been horrible. Regardless of the impacts down the road, the discussion is far from on topic. I have no real issues with you, but you saying a model is way east and turns out its way west just hurts ur credibility of a poster

he is just hating because the Hurricane will likely screw up his 6am tee time on Monday morning, were polar opposites when it comes to good rain events.

Correction, he was "hoping" that the model was shifting way east.

I'm not exactly wishing for a cat 4 or 5 up this way but it would be awesome to get a strong cane into western LI. Once in 25-30 year experience up this way.

Even as is, the 12z GFS brings winds of 50+ knots to Islip, LI and rain amounts of 8"-10":

and those numbers are usually notoriously low in the long range... in my experience. If the storm slows down and we can get a high pressure build to our north, we can get big winds from the PG even with an offshore track.

no worries dude, but I said the euro was coming in east, which is was, till it slowed down and the trough blew by, and then i said it was west. So, just quote me accurately.

12z Euro ensembles in and show tight agreement through 96 hours, then a muddled mess beyond that...less out to sea scenarios, but a couple more FL scenarios, with centers ranging from up the coast to the FL panhandle. Also higher heights overall in the Northeast. This tells me that something is awry with the speed of this storm as it moves up the coast. And to that end it is slower than the 00z ensembles as well. Long way to go on this one still. FWIW, the ens. "mean" is in line with the Op Euro and overall seems slightly further west than 00z as well...still would favor an NC/SC border storm.

Euro ensembles from 12z
