I think standard operating procedure for recon is to wait untill the system reaches 55 degrees west. Based on that Tuesday would be more likely based on present motion.

scheduled for tomorrow as a part of SALEX. N42 is expected to penetrate the hurricane

It is a research mission, not an NHC mission

Usually when the storm moves past 55W and/or starts approaching US coastline.

I cannot speak for the NOAA missions, but right now it appears there won't be any Hurricane Hunter recon missions unless it becomes apparent that a threat to Bermuda exists.

That has to be in coordination with the Bermuda wx service and the NHC before any Hurricane Hunter flight can happen...

The main terminology is what was stated above... 55W and/or Possible threat to US coastline.

Any guesses when Recon will fly Helene?
