Here's an image showing the separation between the center fix of the last advisory and the supposed center from recon data. There's about 10-15 miles of separation.

AF304
Observation (HDOB) #38
-- Traveling towards the southeast, southeast of Bertha. Expect another Vortex soon given the last pass. Winds are pretty supportive of the latest NHC advisory, even though some of the higher estimated winds are likely contaminated by the intense rainfall in the core of Bertha.

Here's dropsonde 15. The main takeaway is probably the 1006 mbar pressure at the surface.
