ATL: IRENE - Remnants - Discussion

[KWT]

Significant improvement just over the last hour or so. It seems to finally be getting everything together at least for a short period of time...

Yeah it does look good, whether or not that will translate into higher winds though remains to be seen, we've got good recon coverage so we should get a pretty good idea.

Better to be bombing now than tomorrow night with less time to come down?

946.1mb at 26 kts!

I think it could easily get into the 930s before it is all done.

[KWT]

Looks like pressure is decently lower then was last pass, probably 944-945mbs or so...would make sense that its deepening at a fair clip given the way that eyewall has strengthened in the last hour.

The stronger is becomes now, the stronger it will be at landfall, because as the NHC said, because of it's size, it will take longer to weaken, even if there is shear and cooler temperatures....

[jabman98]

You really should not drink water that comes out of the water heater, as it may contain sediment and possibly bacteria. That's one reason you never use water from the hot water tap for cooking. The best solution is something like "mywatersafe". They make plastic containers from 5gal to 65gal. The 65 gallon plastic bag fits in your bathtub and has a pump attached.

http://www.mywatersafe.com

But it's usable for washing up dishes or taking a sponge bath.

[KWT]

I'm personally waiting for the AF306 flight to get into the eye and see what they are reporting strength-wise before getting too excited about any possible strengthening that likely is occuring right now.

I wouldn't drink water from the heater but it could be used to flush the toilets. I'm afraid we aren't in a position to buy anything at this point so we have to use what we can.

[Hurricaneman]

I dont like the fact this may strengthen more than forecast, meaning North Carolina through Massachusetts may get more winds than forecast

That big upper low east of Irene is moving closer and the water vapor shows the outflow really starting to link with it. Also, the upper low in the eastern gulf is tracking west and Irenes outflow is expanding westward as well.

[tolakram]

Woops, stepping away for 30 minutes, then I'll be glad to take over for a while.

Look at the difference from 11AM to 5PM today. Size expanding quite a bit and structure getting much better. And it still hasn't hit the Gulf stream. Notice the hot towers near the center too.
