shawnmov Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 USGS - 5.8 in Virginia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HimoorWx Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I felt my chair and desk shaking a bit - my office is on Huntington Avenue in Boston (ground floor). I thought maybe I was just a bit light-headed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Euro has shifted east, similar to GFS (maybe a tad slower) at 96 hours. Folks, we have consensus, this is likely headed for extreme eastern NC for first landfall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OKpowdah Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Yeah, only question is ....staying at the house, or the cottage? D: I don't know...still concerned about the eastern track which would put a boatload of rain for everyone but not much wind. I think Ryan is DEAD on with his concerns about wind potential. XT transition in a slow moving cane this far north...just not a good wind setup. That is assuming this thing crawls at under 20mph. A dead-on hit of the center near PVD or EWB would most likely place that stronger wind shield 50-100 miles east of the center as it expands. Irene should be fully tropical at our latitude. It's not interacting with the westerlies at all, and there's no pronounced baroclinic zone nearby. The question is how much it weakens over the cooler waters. If Irene makes landfall up here at > cat 1 strength, I want to get to the coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Irene makes landfall up here at > cat 1 strength, I want to get to the coast. Hmm not sure...some models do look kind of "frontal" with this thing, mostly after any landfall or latitude above 42. However, most cyclones begin that transition well prior to that type of "look". XT aside- which is probably a bad point on my part- Not sure what to expect honestly, but there has never been (To my knowledge) any PURELY tropical cyclone to strike NE in modern times except maybe Carol? And that is clearly not a good analog as we know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baroclinic Zone Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 IF Irene continues to take aim on New England, is anyone planning on chasing? Don't need to. Should be close enough to mby, plus it's my birfday Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Euro came east..sounds like it takes it over ENC or OBX and then north up to near NYC and then thru SNE> close to GFS but maybe a bit west from what it sounds like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineJayhawk Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Don't need to. Should be close enough to mby, plus it's my birfday Sunday. You can let Irene blow your candles out. Of course, your cake may take flight also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HimoorWx Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I'm at Northeastern. I had the same reaction - thought I was light-headed and on the verge of fainting.

Folks, we have consensus, this is likely headed for extreme eastern NC for first landfall 18Z Sunday 960mb mouth of the Chesapeake- looks to making a beeline for NYC... After that it gets interesting, most guidance suggests that the entire coast gets raked up to either New England or NYC/Long Island. A complete fish is looking less and less likely, This will be a big ratings grabber for TWC..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 It goes from NW NJ at 132h to the MA/CT/NY triple point at 138h. At 00z it went from E PA to Albany or GFL...so this track is east of 00z but still west of most other guidance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
