Tropical Storm Irene Setting Records.. .
Well, finally TD #9 has developed into TS Irene. Due to heavy wind shear and unsatisfactory atmospheric conditions, Irene has taken greater time than expected in developing. Nevertheless, with a gradual wind shear reducing, Irene is expected to move towards the Northwest and arrive in the Bermuda vicinity in the next 4-5 days. Irene was the earliest 9th named troical storm ever recorded.
Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Harvey (50 mph), which whipped Bermuda last week, is swirling northeastward over 700 miles south of Cape Race, Newfoundland. Harvey is expected to become extra tropical (non-tropical) tomorrow as it curves to a more ENE track and weakens further.
