Hurricane Irene

Recommended Posts

arghh, mean to post this in this thread, not the main one.

Just comparing the last 2 euro runs..on the 12z run the trough looks faster and not as sharp, allowing irene to hug the coast more and actually tick NNW once the atlantic ridge tries to build in its nose westward.. This is a very dangerous and fragile setup. Im curious to see what the GFS does in its next few runs, trends are key (epecially at 500mb).. I'd place my bets on a central-eastern LI landfall right now as a category 1 hurricane

aka - Gloria repeat...

From Upton's new AFD:

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... ...POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS HURRICANE IRENE TO IMPACT THE TRI-STATE FROM LATE SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT... S FRONT WILL STALL OUT PROBABLY JUST SOUTH OF LONG ISLAND FRIDAY...AS SUCH HAVE GONE WITH A DRYING FORECAST DURING THE DAY...WITH SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE POPS FROM NW TO SE IN THE MORNING. GRADUALLY INCREASE POPS FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY AS FRONT WORKS ITS WAY BACK TO THE NORTH. SUBSIDENCE AHEAD OF HURRICANE IRENE WILL HELP TO SERVE AS A LIMITING FACTOR ON HOW MUCH PRECIPITATION WE ACTUALLY SEE INTO SATURDAY...BUT DO SEE THE CASE FOR LIKELY POPS FAR SE ZONES AND CHANCE POPS ELSEWHERE BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON. OUTER-BANDS FROM IRENE SHOULD BEGIN TO IMPACT THE REGION IN ERNEST SATURDAY NIGHT...WITH THINGS DETERIORATING FURTHER SUNDAY AS A IRENE APPROACHES. EXPECT WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAINFALL FROM LATE SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...THEN PRECIPITATION TAPERING OFF FROM SW TO NE AS IRENE PULLS AWAY SUNDAY NIGHT...BASED ON LATEST NHC FORECAST TRACK. GIVEN THE SIZE OF IRENE...DO NOT FOCUS JUST ON THE FORECAST TRACK...AS ITS DANGEROUSLY STRONG WIND FIELD LIKELY WILL ENVELOP MOST OF THE REGION...EVEN ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE STORM. ALL PREPARATIONS FOR HURRICANE IRENE SHOULD BE COMPLETED BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON...AS WINDS/RAINS STARTING SATURDAY NIGHT...AND DEFINITELY SUNDAY WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT...IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO TAKE ANY ACTION THEN. IN THE WAKE OF IRENE MONDAY-WEDNESDAY...A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE TRACKS TO OUR NORTH MONDAY-TUESDAY...MOST LIKELY FAR ENOUGH SO...THAT THE REGION SHOULD REMAIN DRY. RIDGING THEN BUILDS IN TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY. FOR TEMPERATURES USED A BLEND OF MAV/MET GUIDANCE WITH A MIX DOWN FROM 900 HPA FOR HIGHS FRIDAY...A MAV/MET BLEND FOR LOWS FRIDAY NIGHT...AND A BLEND OF MIXING DOWN FROM 950 HPA WITH MAV/MET GUIDANCE FOR HIGHS SATURDAY - DO EXPECT SOME SUN FROM TIME TO TIME DURING THE DAY ON SATURDAY...AS SUBSIDENCE FROM IRENE WILL HELP TO LIMIT CLOUD COVER TO SOME EXTENT...EVEN WITH FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN THE VICINITY. FROM SATURDAY NIGHT-WEDNESDAY...BLENDED MEX/MEX ENSEMBLE MEAN WITH HPC GUIDANCE. PLEASE REFER TO THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER FORECASTS FOR THE LATEST DETAILS ON IRENE.

This is actually a pretty frightening discussion. I'm just here till Wednesday visiting from Israel and never did I think beforehand that I'd have to prepare for a hurricane. But deep down I'm pretty excited too hehe :-p

I wonder how ominous any disco will be tomorrow and after if these trends keep up. Having a 940s hurricane steaming up Delaware Bay is about as scary as it gets for this region.

Goodness gracious, a definitive shift in the models today, due to that weakening trough in the pacific, well part of the reason, but this is getting pretty definitive. 0z tonight might make this solution more certain. Hopefully Irene can continually strengthen over the next 24 hours to a Cat 4.

looks like the western edge of the eye would cross far western suffolk at its furthest west point. Very gloria-esqe in track

I remember Bill said the best consensus is developed when you average the GFS and EURO tracks-- of course, that's once we're within 48 hours :P
