Re: Tropical Storm Irene Enters the Northeastern Caribbean Sea

While the CoC is technically in the Eastern Caribbean. The Main convection is slightly separated and over the Atlantic Ocean. The terrain doesn't appear to be influencing the system a whole lot. Based on the Eye dropsonde earlier. The drop did show SSW winds a the 4900 foot level. But that could be due to a lop-sided storm.
