Massive beach erosion in this scenario but may only brush outer banks?

I'm thinking it's August and with this setup it's landfall could be farther north than the banks...I'm thinking it's not going to go NNE from the banks...we will see what the models say

Re: ATL: IRENE - Models
GFS looks like it could be a major problem for the East Coast. Hope it doesn't head directly north after moving into the Outer Banks. Could send a ton of surge in the the Chesapeake Bay.
Here's the NOGAPS

I really doubt the Euro will be THAT different than GFS. The Euro and GFS have broadly handled the storm the same for many, many runs. Will be interesting to see.

Re: ATL: IRENE - Models
That NOGAPS run looks very Floyd"ish". That it a very close call on the turn. Any more ridging or less digging trough and we get smacked.

Re: ATL: IRENE - Models
Yes that would be very significant. There is a huge surge potential up the Bay. This is one of those worst case scenario's for that area... possibly.

About the same as previous run. SFL sees minimal affects.
Yeah but the difference is, it is very slow this run and theres a stronger trough... which makes you think... "stronger trough (in August? what the?)... about the same track as previous run... what if the ridge holds on stronger? and it was the same track as previous run?...
TBH, i dont think Florida is out of the woods just yet. But just my opinion.

Re: ATL: IRENE - Models
I'm really interested in how that second trof evolves in later model runs. It was definitely sharper this run of the GFS (hence the track is fartehr east at day 4 and 5). Will that trend be verified by the Euro? Will the trend of a stronger trof continue in later runs?

At 120h... compared to the 18z the final point is a fair bit farther up the coast (mid-NC coast vice SC/NC border). Ever sp slightly north compared to the 12Z run.
