Track Irene Here

Using my Excel Hurricane Tracker and the coordinates provided by the National Hurricane Center, I'm tracking Irene as she traverses the Carribean and Atlantic.

At this time, the storm is leaving Puerto Rico and making some impact on the Dominican Republic. Only about 55 mi. from Punta Cana and 160 mi NNE of Puerto Plata, it appears that Irene will stay offshore and should gradually strengthen further.

The path places Irene on a path toward the Bahamas. One of the first locations that could be impacted is Little Inagua, about 350 mi or the Turks and Caicos, about 290 mi to the northwest of Irene.

Possible hurricane conditions expected in about 24-30 hours at these locations.


















We'll have to wait and see, but looks like to me, the projected path of Irene may need to be shifted EAST somewhat. This would eventually take Irene a little farther from the Florida mainland in the days to come.
