Hurricane Irene


Baroclinic Zone

Hopefully it at least eradicates Hatteras, first.

Well I was only joking, but we know how they love to sniff the westerlies. I even made a joke about Earl a few days ago. If this hits HSE, than the impacts would likely be greater in parts of the area than what we saw with Earl, considering the storm will be stronger than Earl, and Earl never directly hit HSE. Will be interesting to see what the models do today.

Putting the trend aside... if the consensus models remained exactly as is... hugging the Delmarva that's about the only way we get our SNE hurricane in this setup.

The 12z runs actually are good for the SNE hurricane... taking a stall or slow meandering inland over the Carolinas basically off the table. Now we know where the last several runs were so there's no reason to think the 18z and 00z runs won't shift the consensus models even further east.

First thing to look for is the 12z globals. Their individual track isn't necessarily important but their trend from their previous runs is important.

Whose to say they are right? and are underestimating the strength of the ridge? We've seen wild swings west and east with this the last 2 days. I don't see anything right now that doesn't point to a ILM hit in NC..and then from there..who knows.

The wild swing has almost exclusively been east. There's no denying that.

But we're seeing plenty of calls saying fish storm....or a scraper ... At this point that's as bad as folks seriously calling for a direct landfalling hurricane

A call at this point is just a guess and for fun on a wx board.

There are a plethora of solutions on the table. I happen to think a scraper is most likely (which is what I thought yesterday morning even) but the other solutions are definitely still in play. Let's remember we're 5 days out!!!

I hadn't even seen those models that Ryan posted. I was just thinking as a practical matter, we don't have a sharp enough trough to possibly pull this up as far as 42/70 if it only moves through Hatteras. I think the only way it severely impacts SNE would be through the coastal plain track where it cuts far enough west through NC that it can cross south eastern SNE on recurve.

i still say miami

Some of the baroclinic models are gonna want to treat this as if it wasn't purely tropical and draw it further west/north in an interaction as the next trough digs, but I believe that isn't reality so much and that it has to escape NNE and then NE after NC. So we need it to cross NC as far west as possible to have the most fun up here.

It doesn't have to escape, as tip mentioned if the trough is stronger then its an LI express

For now with limited time to analyze...I'd say close to ACK right now...maybe just se of ACK. I'll reserve the right change it later, but also feel that something like a BM track is possible for sure.

The thing that makes me wonder, is having a reliable global model be so far west. It sort of gives me pause, but we'll see I guess.

Perfect track for MBY.

Wait...
