I can do the graphics!!

Awesome - and a special congrats to you - Moderator!

I'll be able to run the obs for a few hours, but will probably zonk out at some point.

Thanks for your contributions and for the congratulations. Nothing has changed, the same Sandy!!! The only difference is that I will have more fun than before!!!

[gotoman38]

Cmon guys - make the turn already!

[brunota2003]

Yeah, they are just flying along... Waiting for that turn towards the storm...

[gotoman38]

One more set of obs and I think they'll be due S of where I think the center is (76.5W)

[cycloneye]

As I see it,they may be heading towards the NE Quad first,that is why they are going more into the Atlantic,to then turn towards the NE side.

[gotoman38]

Or maybe shoot the SE > NW quads first - still - it seems they should be turning soon.

[gotoman38]

Sandy - you might want to try putting radar on your images - try this.

Just copy and paste it into GE.

Sandy - I think you have all of GUIWeather clicked "on" - you can turn off lots of their graphics - one thing I had to do though is change the altitude of the radar from 10000 ft back to 0.

[gotoman38]

Anyone have an idea what the wind reduction might be? They're flying at 2600 ft

[gotoman38]

They're running off to the east - still getting NW winds - is the center that far E or NE?

[gotoman38]

I expected them to find the center under the convection

So, what do we all think Recon will find? I'ma thinking a 50 mph TS that is still strengthening. Predicting pressure of 1005 millibars.

I'd hate to gloat, but...1 out of 2 right so far, will they find 50 or not, though?

[Brent]

40 kt? WOW, a whole 2 kt increase from this afternoon!

[Chacor]

Just got a 41 kt FL wind.

[marcane_1973]

Just got a 41 kt FL wind.

Uh oh!!!! lookout Come on Gabrielle you can do better than this girl.

[HURAKAN]

Waited for RECON and so far nothing to jump off the chair or remain awake. My eyes are already telling me that they want to rest.

See you later!

[gotoman38]

I'm going to have to hit the rack too - can somebody take over posting the obs?

[KWT]

53kts just found, should be enough to up the winds to 45mph I suspect and would make it a little sronger then it is currently.
