Well it has gotten a little stronger, plus the outflow is becoming better established (the thin cirrus in all quadrants remark), and even the temp. gradient has become a little better.

No, 67kts at flight level is about 53.6kts surface winds.

And if it wasn't for similar winds near it, I would discount the reading.

Not 70 MPH, but if those reading are right it rounds up to 65.

67 knots/77.05 mph flight level=61.64 mph surface winds. We got a 60 mph tropical storm.

Except that 67*0.8 is 53 knots...which becomes 55 knots, or 65 MPH. It depends which way they do it...

Any idea on the time until next vortex? With this center "situation" we have, I can't follow with the cords.
