30 minutes until wheels up...2.5 hours until the first pass! Will Isaac hang around off the coast long enough to get that first fix in?

GE working much better tonight.

I think HH will reach center before a landfall which would be good so it doesn't have to do any mountain maneuvers.

Panama you or someone want to go ahead and take hdobs? I'll pickup #7 then take over please.

Data's coming in steady tonight, not as many people hitting the NHC server right now.

brunota, I was wondering about that. What would be considered an average that would not really effect it too much, to be called contaminated?

Flight level winds are less then surface, here we go again

#316 Postby **brunota2003** » Sat Aug 25, 2012 12:58 am

I usually look for anything under 10. You can also get a good feel by looking at the measurements around it. If the SFMR jumps up from 45 to 60 and back, or if there are readings around it in the 45 to 50 range, with low rain rates, then 45 to 50 is about right, most likely.

I will catch obs 13 hdob and image but I need someone to take over after that

That makes sense, it just made landfall
