TS FELIX: RECON Discussion

[x-y-no]

Haven't seen anything higher than 21 knots flight level. Or did I miss something?

Neither have I. I don't know what people are seeing that I'm missing.

[CrazyC83]

Early on there was a 27 kt FL wind just as they came to altitude.

I'm just reading the non-detailed reports coming from the plane. Observation 7 at 1758Z had a FL wind of 240/18kts and an estimated surface wind 220/25 kts. Plane was at 11.3N/58.2W. Pressure 1011mb.

[oyster_reef]

what's the lowest presure thusfar?

[CrazyC83]

1010 is the lowest pressure.

Ah, OK.

Entirely possible to have higher winds at the surface than at flight level in a system this incompletely organized.

[x-y-no]

1010 is the lowest pressure.

Not 988?

I'm shocked!

[Lowpressure]

1010 is the lowest pressure.

Not 988?

I'm shocked!

988 will be on Sunday morning.

[CrazyC83]

Is it just me or did the NOAA plane just start out flying (from somewhere in Florida it appears)?

Is it just me or did the second plane just start out flying?

Training flight.

[caneman]

NOAA flights do leave from MacDill here in Tampa, Fl. Is this a NOAA flight?

That is a training mission in the gulf.

[Lowpressure]

Training mission maybe?

[CrazyC83]

Now the training flight has turned to "FERRY"...

[HURAKAN]

They should have redirected the training mission to 96L.

[CrazyC83]

They should have redirected the training mission to 96L.

I'm going to create a separate thread in Talkin' Tropics for the NOAA mission

[x-y-no]

1010 is the lowest pressure.

Not 988?

I'm shocked!

988 will be on Sunday morning.

I was taking a jab at Accuweather, who for the last three hours have had a graphic up saying this has a central pressure of 988mb.

[HURAKAN]

Accuweather is becoming the JTWC of the Atlantic. Unfortunately the JTWC does a much better job. Nevertheless, nothing says Accuweather can't do it, or you, or me.

The JTWC is semi-official (best described as a #2 source - JMA is the official source) being a NOAA agency.
