Hurricane Dean Recon Discussion

[cheezyWXguy]

I can't wait to read about the NE quad.

Why the NE Quad? Why not the NW Quad? (considering, by its motion, that is the RFQ)

I dont know if im right or not, but Ive heard that its the right fron quadrant for a landfalling storm, but the NE quadrant for a storm at sea

Whoever can post recon please do... I am not going to - RIP - myself away from the computer.

Dean is moving slightly north of due west meaning if you take into account it's relative motion to a specific location the N-NE quad will have the highest winds right now...if it were moving towards the SW then the NW quad would have the highest winds

Hope all is o.k as well. That would be all of our luck, recon times it perfectly and gets in an exploding hurricane and then equip failure-aghh.

[Extremecane]

this really sucks

[cycloneye]

Any new information from the plane as it has been almost three hours since the last ob.

Pojo,what is going on?

I understand she is supposed to be on it.

I think you're right. Hopefully everything is alright and they just had a malfunction in the computer that sends out the data.

I won't even acknowledge that statement as I hope I didn't really read it.

One thing I learned when I flew Rita was that the flow of data requires sat communications. Probably some technical difficulties in the sat coms

[Aric Dunn]

As JB says someone in the higher ups is keeping it from getting out sometime.

that almost makes no sense.....

and would be sad
