Notice from the Milton Police Department

Irene’s projected track has shifted significantly westward since yesterday; it now shows the center of Irene passing over the Outer Banks on Saturday, making landfall on western Long Island Sunday evening, and passing through central and western Massachusetts Sunday night and Monday morning as a Category 1 or 2 storm, or possibly a weak Category 3. Irene is still several days out, however, and the projected track could potentially be off by as much as 200 miles and the projected timing by 6 to 8 hours.
