Logan11 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Latest frame on the loop...I think it may finally be turning more NNW. Maybe it can pull an Isabel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dsnowx53 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 With how far west the models have gone, even if they do trend east at the end, I doubt the landfall will be any further to the east than the Nassau Suffolk border-- and probably further west than that. I still think a Suffolk County landfall is possible. The possible east trend is not one that would be linear. If the storm gets sucked into the trough, it would travel NNW for pretty much its entire path, and if it doesn't get sucked into the trough, it would travel almost due north for a while, and then NNE, and then even NE. So what would seem like a small tick east would be one that would carry more significance (go even more east) because of the synoptic features it would subsequently run into if it goes a bit further east.

free_man Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Edouard moved N but wobbles aside, never really too much NNW while in a col. Fortunately it looks like we catch a break on this one, while M/A gets broken. Let's rejoice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 It will be interesting to revisit this in 72 hrs. We'll see if the east tick is real with this. Certainly this track is a mess for the East Coast in general. It also will depend how much Irene gets its act together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baroclinic Zone Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 Looks like the Euro is still on the western edge of most guidance. Crazy set of 00z Runs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is silly considering the trends we've seen in the last 12-24 hours and considering we still have 96 hours until landfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baroclinic Zone Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 Anybody happen to notice the changes on the Pee State E-Wall site. They have 15-panel maps now for the 12z and 00z NAM plus they added the GGEM to the regional maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 The latest models will create a lot of hysteria this morning in the Philadelphia and Baltimore/DC metro areas. Indeed it will. I'll be laughing at all this like I was laughing at everyone about to put this storm over ACK at 06z last night. My concern over the track error at 120 hours fell pretty much on deaf ears last night...and at 96 hours, I'm sure those same deaf ears will be hugging the models again. There's an enormous cone of uncertainty still and while tonight's runs might be correct...there is a very good chance they are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I'm actually worried this may go even further west before it goes east. I would not be worried about that. That would be an extremely rare case with these types of systems...it might happen this time, but odds are it goes east from here. The only fly in the ointment is if it makes landfall over SE NC...then its game over and it doesn't matter after that as it will be a rapidly weakening TS like Floyd was...but if it just brushes Cape Hattaras...I'd def favor an east track over what the Euro and GFS show.

Yep, I was actually just posting about this in the NYC subforum-- I've always looked at Cape Fear / Wilmington as the benchmark as far as land interactions entering the equation. As long as it just brushes the outer Cape, like Gloria did, we should be "fine." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 The improbable continues..You have just got to pinch yourself to remind yourself this is very real. Gotta love our position in this as Will's inevitable east shift that every cane in history has done is yet to come. Look like pressure is down to 950..Strengthening now..cat 4 is coming later today/tonight Off for a run to think about this with a clear head. How'd the Euro ensembles look?

Damage In Tolland Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 THE LATEST NUMERICAL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO ADJUST SLIGHTLY WESTWARD AS HAS THE LAST SEVERAL NHC TRACK FORECASTS WHICH NOW HAVE IRENE CLIPPING THE NORTH CAROLINA OUTER BANKS LATE SATURDAY BEFORE GRAZING THE DELMARVA AND NEW JERSEY THEN MOVING INTO THE NORTHEAST ON SUNDAY. THIS POTENTIALLY COULD BE EXTREMELY DESTRUCTIVE WITH MASSIVE DISRUPTIONS TO SOCIETY AND COMMERCE ALONG ITS ENTIRE TRACK. REFER TO THE NHC FOR THE LATEST FORECAST OF IRENE.

Damage In Tolland Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Chills reading this HURRICANE IRENE WILL LIKELY HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ACROSS SOUTHERN ENGLAND SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT. IRENE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE IN SEVERAL FORMS. IF THE 00Z MODEL CONSENSUS HOLDS AND A GOOD PORTION OF OUR REGION ENDS UP ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF THIS STORM...SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE ACROSS THE REGION IS LIKELY. THIS FROM VERY STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS AND A LARGE/ POTENTIALLY DESTRUCTIVE STORM SURGE ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE SOUTH COAST. HOWEVER...IF THE MODELS TREND EVEN FURTHER WEST LIKE THE 00Z ECMWF AND HAVE LANDFALL WEST OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND THE WORST WOULD BE SOUTHWEST OF OUR REGION. WE STILL WOULD LIKELY HAVE A PERIOD STRONG DAMAGING SOUTHERLY WINDS/COASTAL FLOODING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
free_man Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Might just have to take a 300mi road trip tomorrow instead of 80.
