MIAMI - Tropical Storm Irene was expected to intensify Friday and possibly reach hurricane strength as it approached the U.S. East Coast, forecasters said.

Irene's potential threat to land was still uncertain, as its path had shifted east, according to forecasters at the National Hurricane Center in Miami. Forecasters said the storm could strike the coast anywhere from South Carolina to New Jersey.

Irene's top sustained winds increased to about 60 mph, and forecasters said conditions appeared favorable for the storm to strengthen. Hurricanes sustain winds of at least 74 mph.

Eeep, let's hope she keeps spinning because that path looks like it's going to collide on NJ/NYC

I'll be pissed if the PGA gets rained out. It's cummy here in Chicago and I have planned a big afternoon of pizza, a nap, and watching golf. This would upset my entire day.
