Could the fact the VDMs have got the wrong center play a role in the models? If the center was initialized correctly (at 17.4N 63.2W or so instead of 16.9N 63.0W)?

Looks like the ridge is building back in over the top...

So, if you're keeping score at home, GFS is now starting to agree with the Euro, who had a hit somewhere around Georgia.

114 hours, just off the east coast of Florida, being budged slightly west by the building ridge. Scary looking system in this run:

MiamiensisWx wrote:In this run, a slower movement would allow the shortwave trough axis to lift NE and permit the ridge to prevent recurvature. The exact speed and strength of Irene would make the difference between a landfall near Savannah and a landfall between Miami-Cape Canaveral. A faster, stronger solution would intimate a track toward the coast of Georgia (NNW movement). A slower, weaker solution would favor Miami-Cape Canaveral. The relatively progressive vortex over Canada suggests the ridge axis may encapsulate Irene and force it to move ashore in east-central FL.


Wow!!!
Haven't seen you on the board for a while.
Please stick around and keep posting your analysis.
Your study of the science is always well thought out!!!!

On this run, anyone from Southern Florida to NC would be pretty scared if it were to come true...it is sooo close to the Florida coastline, it's just a matter of where it is once that ridge builds back in, as to who gets the big one.

the threat for Florida looks very real in this run, ridge holding tough and nudging westward and weakness very weak.

Over the last week, nearly every gfs has had a FL hit or near hit......My concern is it runs the spine of the state and up into the carolinas and mid-atlantic causing an epic flood event.

How far north would Irene get trapped if the major flood event sets up? Any chance it gets close to 45N and gets stalled?

And its very rare that a strong system hits that part of the east coast. It depends on how strong the ridge will be when it is or if it builds back in.

I'm not convinced that Irene will make on time to catch the weakness, if there is much of a weakness at all by Thursday. Wonder where the models are going with this.
