Re: Irene the Year's first Hurricane, Passes Over Puerto Rico

Florida will probably only get some squalls at most.. Still Rip Tides,Waves and beach Erosion will be the concern as people along the coast with homes will see some sort of rise in watch levels. Also Dangerous situation for Surfers as most beaches will be closed but you cant stop everyone in isolated areas going out there. Kids will be Kids.

Everyone should go out and get whatever supplies if you feel you need them. Its still 3 days out but my forecast since Friday night in the lounge is still it and probably wont change. The ridge is further NE causing a more WNW path than indictated in the models since this formed. Don't forget.. 2 days ago this was suppose to be near Haiti on the carribean side. See why we tell people to not look at models until something forms or to look past 3 days. This is really a pretty easy straight forward system to forecast.
