Irene made landfall at about 7:30 AM - She is kicking in a lot of heavy rain and severe weather now for VA, MD, and NC. She has kicked precipitation way west! I suspect Flood Watched on and east of I-95 to become Flood Warnings. Tornado watches all along the coast with many rotating thunderstorms capable of tornadoes, and winds along the coast to cause extensive damage. Expect Flood watches to extend to to about 35 miles west of I-95 if trends continue.
The threat moves up the coast all day!
Stay alert! Be careful! Do NOT try and drive through flooded roadways! Do NOT put yourself in harms way!
All for now!

Quick Update
Storm looks like it will come in a bit west of forecast tracks in NC, and also appears to be getting a bit better organized in the last our or so. Southwest side looks ragged, but it ay be re-organizing. I will keep watching and update sometime this afternoon.
Thoughts still look the same to me. Will try and pinpoint more later tonight.
All for now!

All for now!
Irene temporarily weaker - Do not let it fool you! More later!
The below still looks good. I will try and get more specific later today!
NC - Friday/Saturday - Major Impact - Serious situation for Outer Banks and eastern part of the state. Please heed evacuation requests. A category 2 or 3 hurricane is serious and has not been something that has been experienced in a long while - Outer Banks should not be occupied when she comes through!
VA - Saturday/Sunday - Eastern VA will feel the effects of the storm especially from the coast to about 50 miles inland. Again, heed evacuation requests. Eastern Shore especially vulnerable
Maryland - Saturday/Sunday - Serious impacts along coast to about 50 miles inland. Eastern Shore is the most vulnerable.
Delaware - Saturday/Sunday - All of Delaware to be effected. The coast is obviously the most vulnerable
Pennsylvania - Sunday/Monday - Mainly eastern areas and this will be wind and rain.
NJ - Sunday/Monday - Major impacts, especially along the coast. High winds and heavy rains likely.

Hurricane Irene is serious threat, and models have shifted enough to
make me worried. Eastern half of VA, NC, MD,PA, NC - all of NJ and DE
should start to seriously prepare! Power outages and storm damage are
a good possibility! Prepare now and heed all evacuation requests!
More to come!
Do not forget that it is aeration and seeding season! My good friend

Updates on Timing: Irene! I was way off!
Still looking like Irene will be a serious threat to the area, especially east of I-95 and for the coast as She will be a Hurricane as she come through.
Irene is likely to be a Category 3 or higher when she makes landfall. As of now, the SC/NC border looks like a close call for where she will come on shore, but more likely Southeastern NC based on latest model trends. Then she will track through the Mid Atlantic, at least based on current model output! There will be some time to watch exact tracks, and areas in the Carolinas will be affected Friday into Saturday, then the central Mid Atlantic Saturday into Sunday, and then New England Sunday into Monday.
Irene is likely to be a LARGE hurricane as well. This means her affects will be felt west of the center.

This is a serious Hurricane. The Bahamas are likely to be seriously impacted. It is time to pray and prepare! This could be very bad!
Stay tuned to media and weather outlets!

Another Hot and Steamy weekend ending in Severe - Tropical Threat looks South
We have a hot summer weekend on our hands with temps in the 90s. A chance of storms today and then a better chance tomorrow with a severe thunderstorm threat as well. Temps will drop to the 80s for Monday and stay there for the week. Southern VA and NC will see temps closer to and in the low 90s with a chance of an afternoon or evening thunderstorm. A return to storm possibilities returns area wide Thursday.
The Tropics are ACTIVE! Harvey is a strong and strengthening tropical storm that is about to come ashore at Belize. Then we have Incest 97L which is very strong and I suspect will get upgraded to a Depression today or tomorrow, and a Storm not too long after. Where the future Irene goes now appears a threat to the Gulf and MAYBE Florida. There is a trough later this week that could pick up her or her remnants and enhance rain along the East Coast. We will have to watch. Further out a few more lows are showing early signs of organization and will need to be watched.
All for now!
HAVE TO SHARE! Aeration season is upon us as well as time to plant grass! YES, FALL is the best time to get the lawn re-seeded and aeration helps the soil get the nutrients needed for a great Lawn. Serving Northern VA, Aeration Corps is run by a very good friend of mine! Mention you heard about it on Mid Atlantic Weather!

Is there a Hurricane Threat on the East coast - Model data says - MAYBE
We are a week away from the scenario, but models are consistently showing the new Invest (area of interest that may become a tropical system) strengthening and possibly becoming a hurricane and ultimately threatening the US. Where? Well, my gut would say Carolinas southward! YES, anywhere is possible, and no hurricane at all is possible. This far out you pay attention to consistency in models but exact details are not clear. A heads up that this is tropical storm season and we are nearing the height of the season. But I can bet you, if the threat is real, or even unreal, you will hear a ton about it on news and radio outlets. I will start analysis if this looks to threaten the area.
All for now!
