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.
