The point of Ed's post was NOT to sound the all clear yet. Irene is spinning down a bit currently as easterlies do their dirty work. The ridging MAY block her off from going north or east. As she weakens a bit, she could move a bit westerly due to the shallower flow. I too noticed the sea breeze line din't behave as usual today and shoved the T'storms off to the SW. She's not really far enuf north to get affected by the westerlies either. Sh'e pretty much a sit and spin right now, but as the building ridge north of her moves to the NNE of her she will start to move WNW, then may stall again as the steering currents weaken , then move again when one ridge does a handover to another. She could be trapped for days, and that's why I'm heading to bed. Nite all. Cheers!!
