Re: Irene Becomes Tropical Storm Again ... Threat to Carolinas Decreasing

The 11PM didn't seem to report on it but the subtropical ridge now appears to extend further east of North Carolina than it had earlier in the evening.

My understanding is that the "subtropical" ridge is between 35N and 40N.

When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center.
