Is the mission over? I ask as I see them climbing in latitud.

[Thunder44]

The schedule from yesterday says they are supposed to be in there until 2:30pm.

[Brent]

I thought they were supposed to do another fix for the 2pm advisory...

[cycloneye]

The schedule from yesterday says they are supposed to be in there until 2:30pm.

Unless they have some problem (Mechanical?)

Huh? Was the 76KT flight-level winds not counted?

The vortex message was sent out before they recorded that.

[P.K.]

Huh? Was the 76KT flight-level winds not counted?

That measurement was made 10 minutes after the vortex message was reported.

[MiamiensisWx]

Oh... thanks, Peter, and Thunder!

Yes, I just relized that...its still Recon though...so will not edit the post...thanks...I wonder what research they will be doing?

Cycloneye don't act like you were so certain that they were going back for another fix. Let me use your own quote:

The schedule from yesterday says they are supposed to be in there until 2:30pm.

Unless they have some problem (Mechanical?)

[wxman57]

All I can say is, this is a poor excuse for a TS. I'm looking at numerous ship and buoy reports around a center that's difficult to identify. They're indicating 25-30 kt winds at the surface. WInd shave dropped by atoub 15 kts int he past 2 hours as convection diminishes and the center has become less obvious. Looks like a weak TS to me. I don't think those FL winds made it down to the surface as they would in a purely tropical system.

Yes WxMan I found one buoy with a 33K gust and that is it...
