Re: Bye Bye Irene

Irene appears that it is still strengthening, and the eye is now very evident on visible images, although seems to be covered with thin high clouds, which is why it is not showing up on the IR image. TD10 seems to be completely done with, i expect what little is left of the LLC to completely disappear by midweek.

Irene going out to sea, TD10 dissipated, and nothing looks like it will form--we seem to be in that brief lull that is seen at some point in every August. Some examples just in the last decade:
2004: nothing formed Aug 15-24 (the week before Frances developed)
2003: August 16-27 nothing but a TD on 8-21
2002: NOTHING between Aug 9 and 29
2001: the quiet period between track segments of Dean (Aug 23-27)
2000: NOTHING in August after the 24th
1999: entire first 17 days
1998: entire first 18 days
1997: entire month
1996: entire first 18 days
1995: nothing formed Aug 11-21
