Those flights are for tomorrow and Saturday. I thought they were going in today too?

[Chacor]

Those flights are for tomorrow and Saturday. I thought they were going in today too?

They still are.

[WindRunner]

Yes, they are currently in the air.

[brunota2003]

Well, finding the closed LLC was nowhere near as painful this time, found it fairly quickly!

[CrazyC83]

Nope, that was fast. I'd say we have TD10 at this point.

[artist]

anyone have the coordinates of the center?

[cycloneye]

We got a Vortex Message!

32 knots and they are flying very low.

[Chacor]

They won't so much be looking for windspeeds but for the core temperature, right?

[hiflyer]

NOAA42, a P3, is up out of McDill technically for St Pete airport....however it is down in the south feeder band as of 0928lcl....27.26/83.91...at 5000 feet only doing about 208kts.

Here're the HDOBs: http://twister.sbs.ohio-state.edu/text/ ... RNT15.KWBC

[tailgater]

I wish 1 of them would go take a quick peek at the cluster of T-storms@ 25.5N 89.0W

[HenkL]

Both flights available for GoogleEarth: http://wxgr.nl/?weer_recon.htm.
Use the main link for the AF flight, and a separate link for the NOAA flight, as stated in the flight schedule on the page.

[Thunder44]

NOAA plane just found a SFMR wind at 35kts that didn't come up as suspect:

37kt SFMR wind, it didn't come up as suspect, but FL wind is only 14kt

[cycloneye]

Max flight level wind 38 kt at 400m altitude.

That is good or is suspect?
