SnowGoose69 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 These trees are particularly susceptible to SE winds. This is why I am hoping for a more offshore track, this would certainly cut back on the SE wind duration for areas from Nassau County westward. The March 2010 event may have done some of the dirty work weeding out many of the weaker trees but this time we obviously have leaves on them so some trees which survived that event would go down this time. The ground was relatively moist that time so that initial set of conditions is somewhat similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psv88 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 pressure down to 950, winds still at 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteoutwx1796 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 The flight found a 123 mph wind around the eye per Chad Myers. This guys great. I suggest some of you to watch CNN...he says the eye is regaining form. Says the new track NNE is very bad for swelling of the east river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmc10 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 John, looking at that image shows some signs of improvement. With a while still before landfall will be interesting to see if the trend continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTWeatherFreak Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Fresh convection...and some on the SW side. Which is "good" to see. I dont know. . it looks like we add fresh convection to the south, as we watch a large hunk of it peel off on the north as more dry air gets entrained! This just doesnt look like it wants to make progress to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CooL Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 looks like its starting to move nne east now or atleast it looks like just a note and you are probably right, but its much easier to determine storm motion using radar i would think.

BxEngine Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Not sure if this is the appropriate thread...but quick question...what should we look for to see if and where a PRE develops tomorrow? I think I understand the basic premise enough to know the general area, but are there specifics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CooL Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 well i was just making an observation with that image, but your right yup, irene is drunk right now. She keeps wobbling NNW then NNE then N. Doesnt know what to do...But most importantly there are no suprises, as she is following the NHC track, generally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowGoose69 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 looks like its starting to move nne east now or atleast it looks like It definitely appears that way but I don't know if thats actually the case, the early 00Z tropical models are still over the western edge of Pamlico Sound and then over ENJ or just offshore...it does look like this thing is more headed for the eastern edge of Pamlico Sound though.

jm1220 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Dew's are rising and pop showers occurring The PRE tomorrow night could be impressive, with the tropical moisture running over the front just to our south. Just that could deliver a ton of rain for most of us, regardless of where Irene tracks in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ict1523 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Was coming up through I-81 in southern Virginia before and caught a few pop up showers. Don't know if they were associated with Irene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
