Tried to post some images, I don't see them.

Hurricane Irene will be plowing ashore the U.S. coastline within five tol seven days, roughly.

What an economic blow...true.

Disasters aside..

American and European models are very different right now ( the two major ones that the majority of forecasters rely upon for accurate middle-range forecasting )

Take a guess if you wish of which inter-national powerhouse is more correct, or not.

(Five day forecast, extremely difficult and a crapshoot)

I have found that your predictions are more reliable than the local news.
How close will Irene be coming to me ?
Should I plan on taking the boat and lobster traps out on Sunday ?
(ps. it a rotten lobster season )

I would take them out if you're going to do so anyway within the next couple weeks. I'd say 30-50kt and 6-10 ft seas is a reasonably good bet, at least. probably a 50-50 chance of that.

Storm likely won't miss entirely, but it's not impossible it hits the Carolinas, stalls and weakens enough we don't get much.

Remember, Forest Gump hit a gold mine going out against the storm 4 shrimp.

Go 4 it and bring a wild army vet.

Was planning to stay in the water until Oct 1st.
Last year I waited until Nov., but I think 5 months is enough this year.
