Irene NOT A Threat To Jacksonville

Major Model Plots
All GFS Ensembles
Latest computer models continue to show that Irene will have limited effects on the First Coast. The storm will pass to the east of Florida by several hundred miles. In fact, the storm may be a bigger issue for Bermuda and parts of Newfoundland, than the United States. Most, if not all the reliable computer models have the storm moving east of North Carolina. The States of Georgia and South Carolina are also sitting in safe, dry spots, from the storm, and will not see any effects, except probably for some high seas and surf. North Carolina should still watch this storm, but it appears that what the worst that this storm has to offer will be limited to the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

Irene's Effects for First Coast:
-Rough seas and surf through weekend (this includes rip currents)
-Breezy conditions (but less than 25 mph)
-NO rain
-Warm Temperatures (At least 92 degrees through week and weekend)
