After refreshing 200 times I was finally able to get a NEXRAD loop from Wunderground.

Saved loop.

I'm not saying Gordon will get anywhere near this strong, but watching it develop... Where it is, its size, and now that tiny proto inner core makes me wonder if we had these tools in 1935 if the Labor Day hurricane would have looked very similar

It does seem like the small ones are more likely to RI. Andrew and Wilma(when in the Caribbean) are others that went boom.

They might be headed to look at the wave possibly heading towards East coast idk

I suspect it's just turning around, not wanting to fly over land at storm altitude.

Why would recon not fly over Florida?

Center looks to wrapping up.

east?

plane found center more east or moving a bit east? it suppose move wnw to nw

Turning and flying back the same way it came.

[HurricaneBelle]

Why would recon not fly over Florida?

Can't be plunking folks on the ground with dropsondes.

[AdamFirst]

Why would recon not fly over Florida?

Hurricane hunters deploy airborne dropsondes. They hit the water as they fall through the storm. If it hits land, they break and present a hazard for anyone on the ground.

[ATCcane]

Why would recon not fly over Florida?

They don't fly low level over land. They'll likely turn south soon and head back around the peninsula to the center of Gordon.

[northjaxpro]

Gordon's COC is tightening nicely. I am confident that he will become a potentially very formidable hurricane.

[Highteeld]

I just made a post about the radar appearance of Gordon, but in the last 15 minutes, Gordon has improved even more. Having radar in a situation like this is critical to evaluate the organization processes that happen in budding cyclones. I am thoroughly impressed with Gordon right now.

I think GCANE was saying the plane turned East, not the storm.

Lol. What I’m saying is they don’t have to drop them. They can rely on SFMR.
