If you can stay up late enough look at what the 00z runs do those will be significant.

Spare a thought for the 330,000 in the Bahamas currently. Who no doubt are watching the models by the hour, A CAT4/5 is the last thing these local people need, and any storm surge nevermind wind gusts will no doubt level major population centers especially Nassau which itself is only 5m asl
Some major resorts & hotels in this part of the world that could suffer significant losses and not only financially.

There were line clouds with some pretty thunderheads castellated out of them at sunset here. You get those long flat-bottomed liner clouds when there's tropical activity in the region.

Went shopping and when I came back Irene was 100mph! There was one guy filling 4 large fuel containers at the gas pump. Another guy had like 10 cases of water at the check-out. But, like usual, there weren't many people rushing out to buy supplies.

What are you infering? Do you know something that is going to be revealed with the next group of model runs, that will be more troublesome?

models moved east til the 6PMish runs came through, they had the new data in and moved west


GFS moved a little left, HWRF moved a decent amount left, GFDL moved...right? BAM suite moved right? seems like they were all over the place.

I decided to turn on the weather channel when I read in earlier posts that Brian Norcross & Jim Cantore were talking about Irene.

I have to say, after having written off TWC for years, I'm pretty impressed. Norcross, Cantore & Knabb make a pretty formidable team and they're providing some good coverage, talking about the recon missions and how they affect the track forecast.

Good to see that there are some knowledgeable experts providing this kind of coverage when so many people really need it with this storm.

Be careful calling for a double eyewall in a strengthening system. That could simply be higher gusts in the bands around the center of a hurricane that does not yet have a complete eyewall. ERC tend to show up in steady state systems, regardless of strength. A developing system or a strengthening system is going to have all kinds of wind anomalies IMO. I think this is best suited for the main discussion thread and maybe a pro met can comment.

IF, and I mean a BIG IF, some of the more relied on models are trending left, even at the slightest, I would become very concerned at this point. Becasue it means they are seeing the ridge building back, before this thing can get moving up and out to the north any great distance. Tha is always my biggest fear with these size storms. They miss a path and build the high in over them and then get their momentum going more west; like Betsy, Andrew and Katrina, to name a few. A bit antsy for the Florida folks, IF some of the models are just beginning to trend west a bit. Too close for comfort at this point.

They always swing back and forth on a predicted path, especially further out in time. The closer you are in time, the less they move back and forth and they start focusing in on a narrower path. That is why the cone is so wide the further out you go. Over the last few days they have trended from a path right up the middle of Florida to one well east of Florida that will landfall in the Carolinas. The major model runs are at 8AM and 8PM eastern time but we don't see the output until a few hours later: usually we see the 8AM output by 11 or 11:30AM and the 8PM output around 11 or 11:30PM. In tonight's 8PM model runs, which we'll see around 11PM tonight, they have ingested a whole new set of "better informed" data (especially data the RECON got this afternoon) and we will get a better fix on how close the track will come to Florida or the Carolinas, i.e.the consensus of where this will go may move a little west or a little east or keep the same track. But it will be more reliable because we are getting closer in time to when it will approach the U.S.

Can't wait to see the pretty red sky at sunset for the next couple of nights.

Katrina was also a hurricane that didn't show any eye even when it was over 100mph...
