Re: Hurricane Dean Recon Discussion
The recon did report double (concentric) eyewalls, one 10 miles in diameter and the larger one 40 miles wide.
The pressure has also risen some more and the eye has become cloud filled. I think we are finally seeing the final processes of the ERC.

Headed off to the NW - I guess they're sampling the right-front quad as it approaches Jamaica.
Looks like a hard hit for them

They've turned east - likely headed for home.
Waiting for the VDM - the last fix before Jamaica is likely in this vicinity

On this track - it looks to me that the center will be about 30 mi south off the S coast of Jamaica this evening.

Eye over Morant Cay right now. A group of four low-lying islands surrounded by a coral bank 35 miles SE of Jamaica. Mostly uninhabited.

Re: Hurricane Dean Recon Discussion
From this plot of VDMs and significant winds in the last recon - looks like the strongest winds will likely hit Jamaica's coast S of Kingston and Spanish Town head on.

Re: Hurricane Dean Recon Discussion
Maybe they did not fly because the eye was too close to land

Henk is showing 2 flights.
One just left Ct Croix and another S of Haiti. I can't find data for that one though.
Anyone know?

A think the NOAA plane is taking atmospheric readings. It took off at 1600z I think.
