Hurricane Dean Recon Discussion

[tolakram]

Henk's recon widget for GE isn't picking it up. Henk, where are you?

Should be available now: http://wxgr.nl/tmppic/WXRecon.kml
But there were no new data for the last hour

Ah, ok, I'm using that kml so when data starts streaming I should get it. Thanks for the update!

[Chacor]

No output since 14:59?

[Pebbles]

Humm.. really hoping everything is ok with the planes. Anyone hear from Pojo? She scheduled to fly any flights in the near future?

[x-y-no]

What the heck is going on? Still nothing ...

[tolakram]

As far as I can tell nothing. Is there some kind of Cuba blackout till they're passed? But really, shouldn't they be in the storm at this point?

[x-y-no]

As far as I can tell nothing. Is there some kind of Cuba blackout till they're passed? But really, shouldn't they be in the storm at this point?

Ah ... that's a possibility. I remember Pojo talking about operational security concerns if they're going to fly anywhere near Cuba.

[Scorpion]

They really need to get into the storm.. this could be historic

[HURAKAN]

It's so frustrating when you don't know what's happening. It's a critical moment in Dean's history at this point.

Dropsonde ob has them at 19N 84W. Close to the storm.

OK ... that's just weird. We have a dropsonde report but no HDOBs?

[RL3AO]

This is frustrating.

[Pebbles]

Do I hear a little recon withdrawl here? Maybe we all have a little addiction going on? Maybe we should start a RA group? I'll be the first to go...

Hi, my name is Chrissie aka Pebbles and I am addicted to Recon.

I'm sure info will be flowing soon. Hang in there guys and gals!

P.S. as senorpepr would say MORE RECON BABY!

122KT SFMR in the SE quad...it's possible that there could be Cat 5 winds in the NW-N-NE quads.

[Chacor]

Without the HDOBs... they weren't going to upgrade it.

[Hurricaneman]

I think they are just waiting for all the data to come in

[thunderchief]

pressure xtrap from the plane shoes a surface pressure that has not fallen much=nhc doesnt increase strength

[tolakram]

Still not getting any position updates via Henk's GE plugin.
