Ok then back onto the models... looks like the 0z NAM is getting ready to run.. Once again the NAM is pretty horrible when it comes tropical cyclone forecasting, but it does a good job at forecasting synoptics. Do not focus on the location of the storm once the images star getting posted, but rather the enviroment ahead of it

That EURO run would bring the eye of Irene up through New Jersey and some really heavy weather into NYC in addition to big problems with storm surge.

What's the new CMC saying? Last one trended a little further west in the short term vs. the other models. Brought Irene over Grand Bahama whereas the other models were over the Abacos.

Re: ATL: IRENE - Models
That's a pretty major shift west again for the Euro. They're all fine tuning themselves.
Goodbye NJ shoreline. Yeah, this is mellow dramatic but 10 years ago in September...

Yeah the 12z Euro run was pretty eye opening for those in the DELMARVA/NJ/NY area... Irene is going to have me awake again until 2am waiting for the 0z to come through to see if there are any changes

People following this thread will recall that on Monday, stations in the southeast/mid-atlantic started doing radiosonde (weather balloon) launches 4 times a day (vice the normal two). The number of stations doing that is now being increased.

well the euro did run like 7 hours ago ...so in about 5 hours the 0z run should have everyone's attention (since the euro is king)
but i heard people who have access to the euro ensembles (pro-mets) say they were suprised....b/c they thought the euro ensembles would be further east than the OPeration euro shows. (the free one ).....but they weren't they were spread a bit on both sides (according to said person)

Heard that on another board also. They also said the cmc ensembles had several members west of its op run as well. The impression I got was that there was still room for westward shifts in the coming models cycles.

The 12zECMWF Ensemble Control Run has Irene close to Atlantic City moving north by 7pm Sunday. This would be really bad news for New York City.

yup the damage in dollar terms due to coastal flooding per the EURO track along nearly a 700 mile stretch from NC to mass would be disturbing.
insurance company's are not sleeping

I suspect the power companies up and down the east coast aren't sleeping either. I can't even imagine how many people are going to be without power.

Re: ATL: IRENE - Models
If Irene were to end up more in the Del/Mar/Va region, I wonder if any buildings were weakened enough by the earthquake yesterday to become more severely damaged.
Probably not, but then again, can't help but wonder...

Texas Snowman - I'm sure the earthquake didn't help the older, abandoned buildings.

To anyone who has been using my site, I just now added Min/Max numbers to the bottom right of my maps (starting with the 2011-08-25 00Z GFS run... the maps have been generated for today's 18Z but the share links still point to the old pictures). Here is an example from the 18Z GFS run, clearly showing Irene (the lowest pressure on the map) at 960.6 mb:
