Irene Track Update

The actual forecast track from the NHC has been shifted just slight to the west. It does look more likely now that we will see our first US landfall of a hurricane since 2008 in North Carolina. However overall the situation remains the same as mentioned early. Here is the latest track from the NHC.

You can see a hurricane watch in effect for most of the NC coastline. Again as I've been saying the western half of the state will be relatively unphased by this storm. However it will be destructive for the eastern half. The models have really come in line with the current track, and this will be a major issue for much of the east coast.
