Kinda reminds me of this path a little.....

We can only wonder what this storm from 1906 may have looked like. For all we know, it may have looked somewhat similar to Irene today!

I just hope it doesn't make it to the US. And I still think Irene may be a fish.

Given that Irene still isn't THAT organized, this may be a silly question:

But what is the potential for Irene to undergo RI say in 72 hrs, not just steady intensification?

I don't know about everyone else, but this type of system really makes tracking interesting. As someone else has already spelled out, the NHC has gotten good enough to take some of the "fun" out of tracking. Then along comes a storm such as Irene that really makes everyone (pro and amateur alike) scratch their heads in wonder.
Now, that being said, why is Irene making the hair on the back of my neck stand up? :roll:

I'm NOT saying she is gonna be anything major, and I'm not doing a storm comparison by any means (or name!). It's just that every once in a while a storm comes along that can only be described as "sneaky", and Irene's gonna be one of them! :wink:

I don't like this storm one iota. Not at all. The model runs are not consistent. And even though it's not quite as active as we've all anticipated, I do remember a storm in 1992 in a similar area that I'd rather forget. Hopefully this will become a fish. But I think the ridge is building and holding strong. I guess Radio NHCWX will have ALOT to talk about tommorrow night.... :eek:

Hurricane 5 of 1906 has been reclassified as a CAT 1, 80 knot storm.

Millibar,
I lived 20 years in Wilmington area. Hurricanes love to hit
the mouth of Cape Fear River.

I just want to say that 45 pages on a storm that may or may not have any impact on a single square inch of land is rather astounding, for lack of a better word. But, when there's nothing else to do, . . .

Well, to make it worse, she might be mad that it was indicated that she's the weakest "I" storm on record. :lol:

If that's the case, then all I can this is :eek:

"I" storms have been either quite strong or quite memorable since 1999 (with 4 out of the 6 being both).

yeah. the Irene of 1999 was very interesting.

new blow up of convection to the southwest, and the turning near the center is less evident

Sigh.. I have been a bad birdie and not been paying much attention to the tropic's this year.

Ok Ok... you have my attention. Now shoooo... go away and play with the fishies.

The system still looks organized to me. Late in the day, the light and outflow seem to obscure the circ. from view. Check the shortwave IR. I can still see the center. The convection has decreased ( diurnal) and may stay that way a while. The center also may reform south as well. The NHC indicated that the system would remain de-coupled for while. I am not sure the LLC ever went anywhere. It certainly decreased. Not sure it means anything regarding the overall strength later.
