You should say that next time that's it's your guess. You had me scrambling to see if I missed a VDM.

They're going through the west quad now, setting up for a SW-NE pass and on out of there.

SW and maybe NE eyewall next up... VDM should be in by 45 minutes after the hour. Don't think it will be in time for the 5am advisory though.

They just made the pass a few minutes ago. Should get a VDM shortly.

Yeah, I wasn't sure which pass would get the eye. If it wasn't the one that just completed at 0827, then the VDM would be later. Looks like they'll have an updated pressure reading now though.
