Re: Hurricane Irene Moving Away from Hispaniola

The US water vapor shows the trough moving southward near GA/SC line that is expected to eventually jog Irene more northward. (Although it's spawning an interesting convection area east of Jax) This appears to be stronger than the models were forecasting, which increases the chance the storm will move more north and east sooner, and may only clip the Outer Banks. Still a bit too early to be sure though.
This along with the other long water vapor image may be helpful if you are trying to gauge Irene's motions by satellite.
