SACRUS Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 What generates those speeds because the obs have consistenly been below it when I've used it in this storm and past storms as well. Been using it since 2005 and always seemed a good gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikolai Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Judging radar I would say Irene is more intense now than she was on her first landfall.. as an eye wall has actually begun to develop, is it possible we could see strengthening to correspond with the ~950 (and possibly lower) pressure?
