  • We’ve expanded the “HIGH” threat level category from eastern North Carolina northward to New England.
  • Computer models are currently trending toward a forecast solution of rare potency for the Northeast.
  • Irene is a serious and multi-hazard threat for the major metropolitan areas of the Northeast along and east of the I-95 corridor. This includes New York City.  This hurricane has the potential to produce flooding rains, high winds, downed trees (on houses, cars, power lines) and widespread power outages.  Significant impacts along the immediate coast include high waves, surge and beach erosion.
  • For North Carolina, odds are increasing that the main impact will be confined to the Outer Banks and elsewhere in extreme eastern NC
  • The threat level for the east coast of Florida has been decreased to medium as it appears the Sunshine State will be spared from the worst of Irene.

    • Oh, fuck me sideways.
