Good morning all! Irene looks a little more impressive this morning with a new flair up near the center of the storm. Now that the storm has a less amount of shear and perhaps and little more oceanic heat to work with, does this explain the new round of convection? Also as an untrained eye the convection seems to be close enough to the center that the center is not detectable on Sat pictures. Models also now beginning to bring this system closer to the US east coast. Should people along the east coast from say SC to New England pay more attention to this system or is it still just a Bermuda event?
