1 edit | Hurricane Irene Time for a nice Carribean vacation. |
I guess it's about time we started a thread on Irene. In the last few hours Irene has show signs of getting her act together, first with a nice burst of convection, followed by rapid circulation development. Still if she follows projected tracks she will spend a great deal of time bouncing from island to island. That should keep her below hurricane status. |

 Hello Puerto Rico |
As of now it looks like she is goiing to drop into Puerto Rico later this evening. How she comes off there will determine which way her path will shift. She is very well defined for a tropical storm. If she was in open water I would expect rapid intensification. |

| Just have to wait and see.. Right now she's in a critical spot, how she navigates Puerto Rico, will likely determine her future. She just took out the PR radar, so we can't get a close in look at what she's doing.. (sneaky one that Irene) Satellite tends to indicate that she might be going along the south coast of the island. If she does that expect the track to shift westward (sorry Hayward). |

Re: Hurricane Irene This morning it's looking like Irene wobbled back to the North side of PR, so her track seems to be about the same. As always any small changes in her turn can make large changes in the path.
Also she is now officially a hurricane, and was gaining strength while partially over land, including mountains. |

Looking better for Floridians ... not so much further up the coast. |

 | reply to SmokChsr Since she's not going to be tracking across the mountains of Hispaniola and Cuba, the intensity forecast is much stronger now, a strong Cat 3 when makes landfall near Charleston. -- Proud Member of Team Discovery |

 | I don't look at the NWS site any longer, it's not very user friendly.

Also the WU's site has the computer models with the SHIPS intensity model as well. »classic.wunderground.com/tropica···#a_topad -- Proud Member of Team Discovery |
