Kudos to the Pro Met from Fox13 who posted that yesterday and got a lot of laughter at the time.
Now, it just might happen.


I don't think anyone was making light of his prediction, it's just that he came off so cock-sure of himself without anything to back it up. That's a big deal when it comes from a Pro, people tend to listen.

I hope he's right though, that current track right now is literally over my town and it'll be quite devastating!

pretty sure this motion is do the the mountains. If so it will likely keep a more westerly motion for the next 6 hours or till it can get the southern inflow out of the mountains.

From that graphic, I can't tell if the shift is just the change in storm cloud formation or a jog of the COC. I almost looks to have stepped S of W slightly in the last couple of frames.

what are you using to determining the motion and the center of circulation?

The visible loop from the NHC is crap.

Irene is ingesting some dry air on its southern flank from Hispaniola.. once it gets away from there, strengthening should speed up.

Well certainly interesting tracks now being predicted, up the east coast by in large.

I'd say right now though by far the better chance is for a landfall in SC/NC, though note the track is MORE likely to go to the east then the west of where it is, as Wxman57 if there are erros in these types of tracks, its usually to the east.

I used the 8am position to the VDM message that came out (or the 11am position) - 289 degrees using google earth ruler

Then drew another point from the current 11am position to the +12hrs point... looks like 303 or so.

Yeah that makes plenty of sense. I think the track WNW maybe more of a wobble but you never know do you...

There is actually a pretty decent chance this misses the United States entirely.

Could this be a record for the most posts on a system that does not actually make landfall in the United States, if it ended up not hitting the United States?

Looks like based on the pattern now with that stubborn death ridge over Texas....the only way to get a CONUS hit is to have something form in the NW Caribbean, south of Cuba...

We need a major shift in the long-wave pattern if we expect Cape Verde systems to make an impact.

Still plenty of time for the long-wave pattern to change though.

October could be an interesting month.

That will be good news for you Gatorcane in the US :D to be spared... but let's wait and see what could happens with this fat lady Irene.

Wobbles are part and parcel of the way these storms move. Unless a wobble persists for 6-12 hours, I wouldn't sweat it. Like everyone else, I thought for sure that this would be a very close pass here in FL and possibly an ultimate landfall closer to the GA/SC border. But I can't argue with such a powerful model consensus, especially given the fact the models converged on such a track AFTER the dropsonde data was ingested. That only increases the reliability in my mind. Odd to see a storm getting scooped up by a trof this far south in late August but it is what it is! :)

Also something that is REALLY getting on my nerves already is the idea that this storm wil lbe a fish...

Ummm...given its already hit PR AND going to go through the Bahamas and probably going to hit NC/outer Bank (I'm FAR from convinced this goes out to sea yet) means this is NO fish!

Wow... entire state of Florida out of the cone of terror.
Melbourne is only forcast to have 5-6 ft waves Thursday
with 30knt gusts. Yesterdsay forcast was for 8-12 ft.
with gail+

North Carolina beaches are forcast to have 25+ ft waves.
