Almost 40kt FLW...

That would be say 35mph surface.

What all those numbers mean? Winds? Wind Direction?

Thunder44 · #85 Postby **Thunder44** » Tue Aug 23, 2005 1:30 pm

They are trying to close-off a center now. SW winds to SE winds now. Highest winds are 39kts at flight level so far. That would be about 31kts or 36mph at surface. Not far from TS status.

SURFACE TROUGH EXTENDS FROM 28N71W SW TO 1009 MB LOW PRES NEAR
25N74W THEN IN THE THE NW CARIBBEAN TO CENTRAL JAMAICA.
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND TSTMS ARE MAINLY E OF THE TROUGH AXIS FROM
20N TO 25N BETWEEN 69W AND 75W. THE SYSTEM IS LOCATED BENEATH A
MID/UPPER LOW NEAR 23N79W WHICH IS ALSO MOVING TO THE WNW ACROSS
THE BAHAMAS. THIS SYSTEM HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR FURTHER
DEVELOPMENT OVER THE NEXT DAY OR TWO WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF
BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE.

from 2:05 TWO...

I have to disagree with that placement for a couple of reasons.

1) Recon is reporting a south-southwest wind 90 miles north of that location...which would mean wind is blowing out of the LLC...which can't happen.

2) The flow to the west of that location is clearly to the ENE. Again...that is not a sign of a LLC in that area.

The feature you see at 21/75.5 is a mid-level vortmax. It can't be in the lower levels due to the fact the low clouds are moving ENE and NE...to the west...south...and east of that location...and at a pretty good clip.

It's closer to 22.8/75.5 and it's very braod...with another low level vortmax to the north of that location (but embedded in the easterly flow).

it's still blowing up on the satellite....lots of warm water for it to work with I'm afraid.

They are finding ESE to ENE winds now.

First 3 digit group is wind direction at flight level, the group following is flight level winds in knots (30 sec avg)... the last three digit group is the 10 sec avg of flight level winds... so, for the last ob, 30 sec avg wind was 32 knots from 088° (from the east), 10 sec avg wind speed was 33 knots.
