Abstract	Hurricane Irene's deepest strengthening occurred during August $24^{th}–25^{th},$ as it passed over the warm waters of the Bahamas and Gulf Stream whose SST's reached 30.5° C. Irene reached category 3 status by August $24^{th}.$ By August $27^{th},$ the storm made landfall over North Carolina [2], eTRaP data provided estimated precipitation totals of 1″ to 5″ around the eye, however, using TRMM satellite data, precipitation totals were 5.9″ to 8.9″ over the northeastern coast of the US where the eye passed. The conditions that surrounded Irene's rainfall totals were surmised to be a result of strong ocean-atmospheric interactions over the Bahamas during its peak intensification period: August $23^{rd}$ – $25^{th}.$ To support this hypothesis, heat fluxes and vertical motions were derived over the entire period of Irene's existence. August 20u – $29^{th},$ using atmospheric data and soundings. Heat fluxes, HPI, and vertical motions were found to peak on August $23^{rd}$ and remain consrstently high.
