I'll try to have the audio out by 5:20, this time with a link that works. I'm biting my fingernails here in NC.

I hope for the best for you my friend. However if the NHC forecast track is correct, then after every advisory issued, Isabel will move further north and east of North Carolina. The track has it just off the Cape at the end of the forecast period bringing it close.

From your discussion:

This afternoon's Recon found flight level winds of 158kts, and vortices have returned to the eye of Isabel. Isabel is now a relatively small and tightly packed hurricane as it rides north of west. Initial intensity is set to correspond with the flight level reports and is placed at 140kts for this forecast.

I thought the consensus was that the eye was quite large. "Tightly packed" doesn't seem to be correct.

Eye is large. When calling the storm tightly packed, I am referring to cloud bands around the eye.

Oh, okay.

Audio up now. It works this time. I left the link for this morning's audio if you want to listen and compare.
