Ginx snewx Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I doubt it comes in at 8 am or pm.....prob catch a break as it comes in around midday. Link? I have asked for a time of start of TS and time of wind switch, big issue is how long and what time, it's forward speed is the next biggest unknown. NAm is crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 yeah I think the highest I've seen on SHIPS is 108 kt. It actually does diagnose significant shear, 23 kt at 48 hours and 30 kt at 60 hours; however, since the shear direction and the storm motion are the same it sees the shear direction as favorable for intensification and only slight amount of issue with the magnitude...big negative factors in the algorithm are 200/250mb temp (lower tropopause) and SST. Thanks. I could see this as 80 knots near the south coast. That would be a pretty solid storm....and I guess we can't completely rule out an 85 knot low end cat 2.

weatherwiz Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 GFS will be interesting. Waiting up for that then going to bed. Slept for 3 hours last night. Going to work tomorrow from about 10-8 since I didn't go in today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUmetstud Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 it's cool to see the thunderstorms training to the north as the trough pulls out...it feels like the westerlies are gone and the winds are about to change direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Torchey Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Starting to breathe a little easier tonight, subtle shifts east, hopefully the gfs and euro shift east again. Looks like this tracks east of us now, minimizing the surge potential in wester li sound. Good luck to everyone further east, may your cane dreams come true:) Looking forward to some good winds, which I have no issue with, my only concern is and was li sound flowing through my basement and first floor, which looks unlikely now.

adamrivers Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I haven't seen a ton mentioned regarding tornado potential. Are we thinking that there may be tornadoes in the East/Northeast quadrants of Irene into Central New England if the current track were to hold?

Typhoon Tip Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 This is a great read from storm2k...a reply to a post He's one of the Hurricane Hunter Pilots. Air Force Met: These kind of demonstrative fact-based post ahead of anything verified sounds too much like me - lol. Seriously, what is meant by the NC coast? That's a bit unclear to me... A significant part of that geography does not require an eye passing over enough land to impose substantial enough weakening. Just curious. A skim along the NC coast is a land fall but let's get real. Also, does the fact that this is already moving N ahead of schedule factor into those declarations??
