They are flying much earlier than what POD said it was supposed to be in the afternoon.

How can it be at 25.3 N and 80.3 W? Is this an old recon for another storm?

POD had take-off scheduled for 12Z... 8 AM ... when the storm is at 60 ° W and you are west of 80° , you have to leave early to get there at 2 PM... last ob put them about 1200 miles away, which is about 4 hours of flight time.

I thought that they would have a plane at ST Croix.

Note the mission number... this is the recon mission scheduled in the POD
On the issue of St Croix... maybe they've felt burnt by how things have played out when they've pre-positioned a plane there. They flew one out there in advance of Invest 93 (I think), which fizzled the moment it entered the Caribbean.
