COC at about 21.2N x 72W at 7:00

Irene has barely moved over the last 12 hour period...Pressure has dropped...Speed has slowed...Wind speed is lower...

Models could move 200 to 400 miles on the end of 4 to 5 day projections with slower speed and intensity...

Until its within 2 to 3 days the lines aren't always as accurate...LJ
