Preparation
Irene
08/22/11 06:24 PM
Hurricane Irene is being watched closely tonight, and a NOAA Gulfstream G-IV is scheduled to depart at 5:30 Zulu time 8/23/2011 and drop multiple dropsondes around the perimeter of the storm. This mission will provide data that should provide us in Carteret County valuable information about the storm and its possible impact.
Below is the plotted flight path of the mission which is departing MacDill air force base near Tampa, Florida.
Updates to be posted Tuesday morning, after data from the flight is crunched to give us a tighter forecast.
