I believe the current thinking is that Irene gets partially picked up by the trough, but mostly misses it, and since it misses, when the ridge builds back in, we go back to a westward component.

Send this one in between Brunswick and Savannah, GA where there isn't much population and we can finally get some tropical attention. 8-)

The following post is NOT an official forecast and should not be used as such. It is just the opinion of the poster and may or may not be backed by sound meteorological data. It is NOT endorsed by any professional institution including storm2k.org For Official Information please refer to the NHC and NWS products.


TD Irene looks amazingly raggedy after a rapid organization earlier today. Just when things appeared to be getting interesting some dry air and shear appear to have inhibited the system. The shear, although somewhat light, appears to have toned down the system. Dry air appears also to have increased slightly out ahead of Irene.

If you look closely you can see some faint dry air out in front of her. Conditions, although still somewhat favorable, appear to have become somewhat less so. :roll:

Ups and downs, ups and downs this system has been having... :roll:
