120 kts does not make much sense. It should be 130-135 kts based on recon.

Update, this has NOT been confirmed. 135 kts in the updated BT. Good job by CPHC

Hmmm it may have been subsequently removed, in any case this storm is not 120 kt lol

The good news for Hawaii is that Hector continues this size no hurricane force winds should reach the Big Island, per the recon hurricane force winds only go out 40-50 miles from the eye. IMO.

How about TS winds?

In the NW quadrant they only went out 75 miles from the eye, at the most.

[Eric Webb]

Really curious to see what the HHs find in the NE quad arguably the strongest in a TC that’s moving WNW

I'm sure someone did the initial 120 knots Best Track as a prank to mess with us.

IMO, I think Recon will find a cat 5 with the NE pass.

Good looking little thing.
