Ok, this is short and sweet...Irene is looking much better tonight but still a little lopsided...that should continue as the air out ahead moistens up a little bit. intial heading is 300 due to there is clearly a north motion indicated therefore the path is shifted right in the near and extended term.. noted that there could be a bit of west movement to landfall due to the ridge. I think the ridge will be plenty strong to make this a powerful hurricane at landfall. best guess is in SC. maybe as a major

look, the models have and will continue to shift south...i would expect to see a south shift at 11 for the nhc...if not oh well, im still sticking to my guns...even they mention that the globals show NO weakness in the ridge...
