I just found that thanks...

[SouthFloridawx]

I like the new format better

[HURAKAN]

We just need west winds!!!

Note:

They haven't descended to operational altitude yet and they're still on the northern periphery of the blob.

They are descending now.

[HURAKAN]

Why do you guys think they have not descended?

[RL3AO]

I don't think the 999 mb is right.

[x-y-no]

Decending to operational altitude now.

[Chacor]

I don't think the 999 mb is right.

Remember, that's an extrapolated value.

[x-y-no]

I think most cyclonic vorticity is still in the mid-level, not surface. Thy're out ahead of the system and as they decended the wind veered from NorthEast to East.

[Chris_in_Tampa]

Remember, that's an extrapolated value.

I decided to put a note at the top of my decoder about that.

[Chacor]

URNT15 KNHC 021608 was the last issuance, we missed 1618... hopefully nothing went wrong.

[RL3AO]

No updates.

[SouthFloridawx]

Anymore obs?

[astrosbaseball22]

no td

[Chacor]

Flight should still be out there, no?

Does anyone know how dew point relates to extrapolated surface pressure? If it does at all?

If the dew point on the aircraft is suspect, should the extrapolated surface pressure be considered suspect?

My question is in relation to the area in bold:

They are unable to find even a little bit of a west wind .. no NW, barely finding even a north wind. its is not a TD yet but every burst of convection is possibly bringing it closer to that point


some ESE winds not really significant lol
