Hurricane season is in full swing and it has been a pretty active season so far. We have had 9 named storms, you might have noticed only because they have not struck the US. However the current storm out there, Irene, is forecasted to hit Edisto Beach, SC on Saturday morning!
She is looking very impressive on satellite and is currently a category 1 hurricane. It is expected to be a category 3 hurricane when it makes landfall on Saturday. There are no physical hazards (mountains, land, etc.) in the path of the storm that would slow down and weaken her. There are no trofs or ridges forecasted to be moving through the area which would help move her more to the east.
The next forecast track should be out around 5 PM today. I will try to post as much as I can about Irene and keep those of you who read this from Charleston updated.
