FINALLY taking off

[Matt-hurricanewatcher]

I believe they will find 1000 millibars with 56 knot flight level winds.

Anyone know around how long it should take to get to the lowest pressures?

[RL3AO]

Anyone know around how long it should take to get to the lowest pressures?

90 minutes or so to reach the center.

All the data we get now is valid though since they are approaching it at 850mb.

[jhamps10]

well based off the map, it looks like recon is going to go center looking to see if it is still at the edge of convection, or if it is moved in further or out further. lowest pressure reading found so far is 1009.9 mb.

Now 1006.7

[SouthFloridawx]

Still approaching the center.

I think it will be like yesterday,when the plane departed around 1 PM EDT or 12 noon CDT,being the center close to the base.
