HURRICANE IRENE ADVISORY NUMBER 30 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL092011 500 PM EDT SAT AUG 27 2011 ...IRENE ABOUT TO RE-EMERGE OVER THE ATLANTIC WATERS... SUMMARY OF 500 PM EDT...2100 UTC...INFORMATION ——————————————————————— LOCATION...36.2N 76.0W ABOUT 50 MI...80 KM SSE OF NORFOLK VIRGINIA ABOUT 340 MI...545 KM SSW OF NEW YORK CITY MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...80 MPH...130 KM/H PRESENT MOVEMENT...NNE OR 15 DEGREES AT 13 MPH...20 KM/H MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...950 MB...28.05 INCHES
Surprisingly low pressure for a storm so wide, with it’s center over land for the past 12 hours... Storm surge will be pretty bad at that level.
If this thing re-develops an eyewall, it could get fiercer pretty quick. Most likely... not. But, I don’t think it can be ruled out yet.
