Plenty of missions toTD#3 including the upper gulfstream jet.I am surprised that no missions are tasked for the wave.

that makes as much sense as not flying into gaston when it was making landfall as a hurricane

They're flying into everything else, why not into 97L?

Maybe they want to wait until/if the wave develops further. They might go tomorrow.

I bet they go tomorrow into the wave. Today is fourth of July folks so of course they are going to keep their missions to a minimun... Give the hurricane hunters a break they have a long season ahead of them

I, too, am surprised at the lack of recon interest for the wave. However, to back the NHC up, I think they're waiting for island observations to see what kind of system this really is.

Of note is that there has not been any pressure falls in the islands, which contrasts with the slow, but steady increase in organization that the tropical wave is showing on satellite images.

As I said yesterday, I think this system will develop once it reaches the eastern Caribbean Sea within the next 12-24 hours at MOST, unless interaction with South America, slows it somewhat...

97L is looking very impressive now.

97L is looking great right now! There's a definate spin in that wave.

I have noticed that 97L is coming together too. They may schedule a recon for later today it is still early enough.

Probably tomorrow. They might upgrade it if island observations warrent, like Charley. They'll probably wait.

Very difficult for RECCO to fly out past 50°.

It's against policy right. No where to refuel??

It may already be a depression

It's well west of that though. The Islands are at 60 W.

It may already be a storm. That thing looks good.

Yep. It is a very long haul out there and back.

I can't tell from sattelite imagery what's happening at the surface - too much high level clouds.

I'll grant you it's impressive looking, though.

When can we expect recon reports if they flew out ar 12:00?
