[CTSARA] Hurricane Irene Thursday 5pm Update

[Jon Perelstein]

The latest models are out as of 5pm.

Good news.

The track is shifting east again, which is mostly good forus.

Two models show it passing 100+ miles west of us (giving us rain and wind
but not hurricane level winds), four models show it coming ashore in eastern
CT (anywhere from Madison to New London) which again would give us rain and
wind but not hurricane force rain and wind, and the remainder show it
missing us and passing east of Cape Cod.

However, the so-called consensus model shows it hitting CT right at the
NY/Greenwich border, which would put us in the eye.

If we all face to the southeast and blow, that might be enough to push it
further out to the east.

Next update is at 11pm.  Hopefully I'll be asleep.
