Re: Tropical Storm Irene Forms East of the Leeward Islands

Official track is out.... appears to take dead aim at Florida (the extreme southern tip of the peninsula)... although a recurve past day five wouldn't be shown in the oficial forecast.

Mike: The current forecast does not keep it at a tropical storm, actually. The 22/1800Z forecast is at 65kts, which is a Cat 1 hurricane in the Caribbean (before crossing Hispanola).

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