Last night’s run of GFDL takes the storm smack into NYC.
Irene is now up to Cat 3 as of the 8AM intermediate advisory.
Yep and 2 other GFDL model interpolations bring it on top of NYC also.
One good thing, most wind speed projections drop it to a high Cat 1 or low Cat 2 by then, but they add that wind speed projections are not that good this far out.
