HURRICANE IRENE DISCUSSION NUMBER 21 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL092011 1100 AM EDT THU AUG 25 2011 IT HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE HURRICANE HAS GONE THROUGH AN EYEWALL REPLACEMENT. ALTHOUGH THE RADIUS OF MAXIMUM WIND IS LARGER TODAY THAN YESTERDAY...MICROWAVE AND AIRCRAFT DATA HAVE NOT BEEN VERY CONCLUSIVE. RECENT DATA DO NOT SHOW ANY EVIDENCE OF A SECONDARY EYEWALL AT THIS TIME. THE EYE IS A LITTLE MORE EVIDENT IN THE LAST FEW VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGES...BUT IS NOT AS CLEAR AS IT WAS YESTERDAY MORNING. THE AIR FORCE AIRCRAFT HAS MEASURED A PEAK FLIGHT-LEVEL WIND OF 112 KT AND SFMR WINDS OF 90 KT...WHICH ROUGHLY SUPPORT THE 100-KT INITIAL INTENSITY. CENTER FIXES FROM THE AIRCRAFT OVERNIGHT AND THIS MORNING INDICATE THAT THE EXPECTED NORTH-NORTHWESTWARD TURN HAS OCCURRED. A NORTHWARD TURN IS EXPECTED TONIGHT OR EARLY FRIDAY AS IRENE MOVES THROUGH A BREAK IN THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE. A MID/UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH MOVING THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES REGION IS EXPECTED TO THEN TURN IRENE TOWARD THE NORTH-NORTHEAST IN A COUPLE OF DAYS.
