As of 8:00 ET today, as Hurricane Irene marches toward the U.S. coast, Florida's eastern coast and some central parts most likely will experience only strong winds and heavy rains. The western coast likely won't feel any weather changes from it.
According to all weather sources, Irene will not make landfall in Florida.
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) has issued a tropical storm watch for much of South Carolina's coast.
The NHC has issued its first hurricane watch for the Outer Banks of North Carolina. North Carolina's hurricane watch extends from north of Surf City to the Virginia border. A hurricane watch means hurricane conditions are possible within 36 hours.
Its currently location is about 670 miles south of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. Its maximum sustained winds measured at 115 mph, its movement is northwest at 13 mph.
Irene was located about 65 miles east northeast of Nausau, Bahamas. The government of the Bahamas has lifted the hurricane warning for Southeastern Bahamas. A warning remains in effect for Central and Northwestern Bahamas.
