What doe's it mean?

[clfenwi]

Ah, if I had looked at the location I would have realized quicker...

...I thought the previous was from the plane on mission (AF308), it wasn't... it's from a plane that just took off (AF302, which is now sending normal observations)....

...however, I haven't seen anything from AF308 since 0604Z... as I posted above it had looked to be on a northwest-southeast pass of the hurricane, not headed home...

Looks like they went into the eye from the northwest, found the center, then turned to the northeast and entered ne quad...max fl wind 91 knots...

OK, that's the last VORTEX for AF 308, it is going off station now....

...next plane is AF302 here is it's most recent ob

0639 2942N 08936W 04636 0281 091 009 004 143 009 04995 0000000000

At that time it was 429 nautical miles from the center position just reported, so it should be on station at about 0800Z...

...Bedtime...

[Matt-hurricanewatcher]

It is now by that information a 980 millibars with 95 mph winds.

[Matt-hurricanewatcher]

Why is there not a 3 hour recon? Because its heading for land.

[JamesFromMaine2]

no theres a team that should be out there now I have no clue why they are so late

[Anonymous]
