Ahhh back from a meeting....!

So hard to do any work today.

Glad to see IR looking a bit better, ie. the erosion not continuing.

Kev, hope you read my message, I have no intentions of pissing people off, just a purely honest objective discussion of a historic time. I have 0 doubt this will have a huge impact on SNE.

And here's the latest recon I could find, min pressure 950.1 which is good, she's holding steady!

I'm still perplexed by the Euro and Ukie...I'll give it another cycle before considering forecasting that direction.

Will is the Euro still running much lower on the pressure?

Really odd for it to be in such error this close if it turns out to be wrong.

looks like hunter was on scene at 2028...c'mon lower pressure...

Looks to me like she's beginning to make the move towards the outer banks versus a further west landfall:

Per the other thread, some east of north movement which I think is looking legit based on the satellite loop, she's at least attempting to make the bend.

950.1 but not quite in the center, IMO strengthening again because I'd be willing to bet it was higher than 951 after the HH left last time. So Irene is at least steady state and maybe GS is about to give it some mojo.

Depends what you think is decent. I think I'll get around 40-45mph. I'd like to hit 50mph since my station record is 48mph.

I definitely want to hit 50mph in Plymouth, but it'll be tough for sure. We'll see. I'll be chasing Irene on the roof of Boyd haha

SPC 2 Day re: Irene

...EASTERN SEABOARD -- HURRICANE IRENE...
  PER LATEST NHC GUIDANCE...HURRICANE IRENE IS EXPECTED TO TRACK
  GENERALLY NORTH-NORTHEASTWARD ALONG THE MID-ATLANTIC/EVENTUALLY
  NORTHEAST SEABOARD ON SATURDAY. GIVEN THE CURRENT FORECAST
  TRACK/OBSERVATIONS...THE PRIMARY SURGE OF QUALITY BOUNDARY LAYER
  AIR/NEAR-SURFACE BUOYANCY...AND THE MOST FAVORABLE SHEAR WITHIN THE
  NORTHEAST QUADRANT OF IRENE...ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN FOCUSED JUST
  OFFSHORE THROUGH THE PERIOD. WHILE THE EXTENT/LIKELIHOOD OF A
  CONSEQUENTIAL TORNADO THREAT INLAND MAY BE LIMITED BY SCANT
  INSTABILITY AND AN ANTICIPATED GRADUAL WEAKENING OF IRENE...SOME
  TORNADO/CONVECTIVE WIND RISK IN ASSOCIATION WITH SMALL
  SUPERCELLS/PIVOTING OUTER BANDS OF IRENE WARRANTS LOW SEVERE
  PROBABILITIES FOR THE PERIOD.

Looks like the NHC has Irene as a Cat 1 making landfall in NC, which I implied earlier and was lambasted. They go on to say the core of the hurricane has been eroded and do not anticipate any restrengthening, even though it will be traversing warmer waters over the next 12-18 hours, and that the latest data actually supported lowering intensity.

This is disappointing to say the least. I'm supposed to meet with some friends tomorrow night at Georges... hope they don't close down Galilee (they usually don't)

AIT

Westerly will also close the shoreline area south of Shore Road on Route 1A to everyone but residents and property owners at 8 a.m. Saturday, Hartford said. Police will set up checkpoints to prevent surfers and others from accessing the area.

I will wait for others to review the data messages but the implications of "THE AIRCRAFT DID

REPORT HURRICANE-FORCE WINDS AT FLIGHT LEVEL AND SFMR WINDS OF

50-55 KT 135 N MI EAST OF THE CENTER.."....did they even find hurricane force winds or implied hurricane force winds at the surface? Yikes.

It seems to me the entire discussion was based on the old flights....

Heresy in these spaces I dare say.

Oh well... still planning to go to a private beach on Point Judith Pond. It'll be easy for us to get there since we are residents and it won't be closed since parts of the neighborhood are far from the ocean.
