I've talked to a few friends from that area today and they are completely unbothered by it. It worries me a little.

Same here. Nothing is even really being said about it up there, and if it is, the local news is saying pretty much that they will get some rain, but that's it and it's no big deal. Even was said in Tuckerton, NJ. 5 miles from inlets on the ocean.

This is going to a big deal for places like Boston and NYC. Not sure why folks in NC still think it will do anything there except the OBX.

With as large a storm as Irene has become, the focus has to be on not just where the eye will be centered, but how far out from the eye storm force winds will extend. On it's current track, Irene will impact both the coastal region of NC along with the Outer Banks islands. This region has become heavily developed and the population has grown significantly in the past ten years. The region is also very low and floods easily. Flood surge is also expected to impact areas further inland along the rivers such as the Neuse, Cape Fear and Pamlico, so this is a major concern for NC!

Nice write up...I have been pimpin your site to people who have been hitting me up on FB for Irene info

Thanks! Wish I was going to see more action from the storm, but we had planned a trip to Charleston for our 10Y anniversary and it looks like that is a go, so I can let this one pass :)

Do I sense some annoyance in Cantore's tweet?

reedtimmerTVN Reed Timmer @JimCantore Based on these recent models we may be joining you in New England.. The 12z GFS is insane... Must be favorable jet dynamics

JimCantore Jim Cantore @reedtimmerTVN Reed just pick your spot. This has potential for biggest storm since '38 depending on track.

Lets look at the 2012 storm names:

ARMAGEDDON

BATTLESTAR

CATASTROPHE

DOOMSDAY

EARTHQUAKE

FIASCO

GRIEF

HORRENDOUS

INFLICTION

JINX

KATRINA II

LIQUIDATION

MONSTROUS

NUISANCE

OUTRAGE

PILLAGE

QUASAR

RAVAGE

SCOURGE

TERMINATION

UNDOING

VENOM

WIPEOUT

And for the storms after that instead of greek letters they're just gonna use pictures of guns and fire and stuff.

I think Manteo could be good. If slight trends west continue, Morehead City could be back in play for a direct landfall.

Wow I'm surprised to see that I really didn't think there was any way it would shift back that far west. I guess maybe I shouldn't have told my family who lives there that they had nothing to worry about just yet.

Emphasis needs to be placed on both with consideration of all their typical biases. IMO nothing really changes from a few days ago as said midlatitude features were never less important, we just didn't have the ability to pinpoint said features until now.

The biases of the GFDL and HWRF are that they suck ;)

Maybe it's the coffee heath bar crunch talking, but I thought this was pretty funny in the last VDM: (for anyone confused by the flood of VDMs, the final verdict for last pass was 954mb)
