I wouldn't be shocked to see some sort of proto core trying to develop before it comes towards PR, its wrapping up very neatly looking at the current loops...
proto core![]()
that deserves a Wikipedia entry
J - looks like your 150 miles off of FLL might be from the wrong direction.

If the system tracks over PR before the next recon flight gets there do you think they may cancel it, or will the data still be useful enough to send them in?
Also when is the next flight come to think about it?

I'm not sure whether its an illusion of the system getting closer to the radar or whether its actually wrapping around, but its looking increasingly good in terms of the inner core.
Probably a strong TS now IMO.

Looking at radar it appears to be heading due west, maybe a hair north of west.

I still see west northwest. More importantly, from the radar it looks like it will cross some of PR.

Blown Away wrote:Hugo & Floyd were way N of Irene's position, so really not good comparison. Frances was to be a Carolinas system until recon went out and found a stronger HP resulting in a big track change from NE FL/Ga to SFL. I expect the 5pm track to skim the FL coast w/ a landfall somewhere in N FL. I won't buy any landfall from Vero to Savannah. It will come down to recon going out in a few days to sample the HP again, stronger than expected Vero to the south, weaker than expected it's a Carolinas storm. Don't think Irene can escape w/o hitting CONUS.
Strength will have plenty to do with it, but it's the timing and strength of the longwave trough approaching the east coast later in the week that will have the say in when it turns.

Well, JB says the strongest hurricane to hit the Carolinas since Isabel. A track between Hugo and Floyd. Wilmington nws mentions it, but does state that there are models taking it off shore also.
But it's my wife that relaxes me the most. She said that no way is there going to be a hurricane this week. She doesn't have the time for one and that's it.
If you knew my wife you would feel safer too

I don't see WNW per say, but I don't see due west either, maybe something invbetween looking at the radar and the loops, probably 280 ish would be my best estimate...
Hopefully we can get some recon in before PR, going to be a close call though.

Re: ATL: IRENE - Tropical Storm - Discussion
I think motion is a bit misleading due to the inner core fluctuating right now. It kinda wobbles until a true eyewall gets established. One set it looks 270 next set looks 285 smooth it out and you get around 280.
