Its doesnt matter if Irene is a depression up here the rain from this is going to affect alot of people! It seems like most people are just looking at wind speeds

Oh' yeah, the entire valley should be leery of flooding. 5-8" of rain dumping into the hills of Vt and SW NH will be huge.

sound's reasonable to me, if you aren't 15' higher than normal sea level you should evacuate IMO...

Well, I was pouring over their ridiculous surge maps the other night and I'm supposedly in a Cat 4 surge zone, but I'm about 5 miles south of Sunrise Highway. I'm between 17-19 feet above sea level.

I understand this isn't the monster Cat. 4 we could have had, but some of these posts are getting a little ridiculous now. If this has little to no land interaction between here and LI, we should be all set.

:lol: It should have quite a lot of land interaction between Nashua and Long Island. lol

gfs is over mainland eastern NC...the moves off the coast...makes a second landfall in Central LI/Central/E CT

Wow, based on the other thread-- they were saying it actually is within 5 miles of the Jersey Coast and makes landfall near JFK.

little bit too much interaction with mainland eastern NC for my liking..hopefully it moves a bit east of that area

Well it def. will be if its trajectory over the last few scans are its actual course and not a wobble.

It does just east of there... if you follow the h5 maps at 45 certainly looks like W LI

I'm about 4 miles SE of JFK. Maybe my anemometer will set a new site record (lowest so far was Tax Day noreaster 966 mb.)

The main wind field is going to be displaced like 100 miles east of the center by the time it hits JFK. Paying way too close attn to the lowest sfc pressure is pretty pointless.

yes but rainfall... a track just east of JFK = risk of submerged subways

18z RGEM is a nice hit/track stays over the water just east of ACY then western LI into HVN or so

I thought you'd like this:

Yeah, I think at this point we are very likely looking at a very large hurricane with 80-85 kt winds at NC landfall as fcst by NHC. Of course, given the very large size and fact that there will also be some support from the outflow channel and upper level divergence from being in the entrance region of the upper jet to the N, it may be very slow to weaken substantially even as it moves N.

Gon' be stormy come late Saturday night into Sunday. I don't care if this is a hurricane or a TS. Fun, fun, fun! We don't get to witness these too often in our lives. Track seems pretty well set with a landfall over C to W CT/LI. Don't underestimate the rain, storm surge, and flooding potential with this system. It's going to be nasty. 60+ mph sustained winds are not something we see every day either.

I like it.

But I think all here would agree... next time YOU should start the thread. laugh.gif
