west movement

[StormWarning1]

It is also weakening by the moment. Recon may find a 40 knot storm, and highly unorganized.

No way, I don't think so, but I'm just a lab tech..not a weather specialist.

Apparently Irene is passing over the pool of cooler water that is mentioned in the TCD - the convective activity has lessened considerably in the past 2 or 3 hours, and, the system now appears to be moving on a more northwesterly course than was seen earlier this morning.

Still not too much to get excited about, in my opinion - per the forecast, there's a possibility that Irene will recurve quickly (strong westerlies north of the ridge), but as they mentioned, it's too early to tell.

Not true - take a loop at the visible loop (and forecast plots), and you'll see that the circulation center is still on track:

[RU4REAL]

I thought it was moving west, I was/am just unclear about the responce from Frank2 to boca chris,,,There are so many threads now its easy to get alittle confussed.....sorry...

Irene is right on the NHC track... take another look at the visible floater, add the forcast track plots and the lat and long lines... its not going west for sure.. at best somewhere between wnw and nw... my opinion leans more to the nw solution...

Frank2....are you drinking?.....lol I don't see it, but we all can look at the same thing and see it differantley....you have the experiance...I don't.

[ThunderMate]

Irene seems to be getting closer to the coast than it seems. Either that its because she is growing in size. Also to note it seems very evident that the ridge is building back in and Irene is now on a W to WNW track. I think after the recon we will have much needed info.

Frank is in Denial alot and I do think he may throw a few back some days but hes right today...Its moving right on course...

[Thunder44]

It's looks generally WNW to me. But the eye looks like it wobbling a bit over the last few hours.

[hurricanefloyd5]

according to joe smith's forecast models he shown it might move westward and then move northward before coming close to the U.S.A.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe that's what we are seaing here now??????????????????????
