Irene, good morning?

6 a.m. and so far Boston is pretty calm. Looks like Western Mass and the Hudson River valley are getting dumped with rain, though. And the NHC cone has Boston right on the 90% line for tropical storm force winds, and well into the sixty percent range for 50 knot winds. (Only five to ten percent for hurricane force winds, but there's still one model that wants to bring the storm my way.)

I'm going to go back to sleep.
