Irene seems to be getting better organized by the minute, a new center is now taking shape to the east of the previous spot (5AM) and also it seems to be heading on a more pronounce WNW or even NW. It looks like the last model runs may be on track to take this storm close to the Carolinas and then turn it away. Also, the models are now stating that the ridge is not as strong as it was forecast to be yesterday.

Sorry to say it for the NE Fl folks, but my gut reaction on this one is more like Jax area to Savannah. I just don't see that much of a northern turn happening.


Why not? Just curious

.

It's still heading 270-280. What you see are the cloud tops getting blown off in a NW direction as the SE-NW shear is not unfolding...

Do you think she'll pull an Andrew and fake the models out and head towards S FL or is New Bern North Carolina the target. :lol:

no way. pullin an Andrew would be weird to say the least. I wanna really see todays 18Z runs and Im also gonna be looking out for a WNW turn to materialize. Im not saying its gonna happen but according to the models its suppose to happen later today. Ill be waiting for it and if it still doesnt happen, well thats why I wanna see the 18Z models.

No, I don't think she'll head towards S. Florida like Andrew. There was a massive ridge in place that caused that. Highely unlikely.

I think it depends on whether Irene is strengthening or if it goes back to being a dis-organized system. Like a post earlier said, Irene has made it this far west already because its been poorly organized.

Models seem to be in pretty good agreement right now that she will track more toward the Carolinas. It will be interesting to see what the model runs do when/if she becomes stronger.
