What will the wind direction of Hurricane Irene be when it reaches Long Island New York?

As the hurricane approaches Long Island, the wind will likely be from the northeast. However, as the eye will be very close to, if not pass over, Long Island, the wind direction will change as the storm approaches, passes over and departs.
