Plane is on route towards TD 8.I guess they will hold on upgrade to a storm until the crew reports back what they find.

Wow ... I'm a bit surprised this wasn't canceled. Long trip to study a struggling system.

Luis, is this the first time the RECON plane goes further east than 55W? Pretty weird seeing them going to TD 8's longitude.

Doesn't look like it is struggling so much any more to me. Tighter circulation with convection now around the LLC and banding features on all sides.

Well, a matter of perspective, I guess. I'll grant you it looks better than it did this morning. But I'd still call it "struggling."

Semantics I guess but I see no danger of this disapating in the near term and some signs that stengthening might be occuring. To me that's not struggling unless all depressions are considered to be struggling.

I agree it's struggling but it does look slightly better this afternoon. I would not be surprised if they find it's a TS, but I also would not be surprised if they find it's still a TD.

I am a bit surprised this flight actually left though. Very odd.

Convective burst over the center this evening so they will probably find 45 knot winds at the surface. It is a long flight for a storm that the NHC thought was no threat to the islands this morning.

They must see indication TD 8 has a good chance of making it to TS status.Otherwise it wouldn't make sense if this thing was dying

NOAA quite freuently flies well east of 55W since they frequently deploy from Barbados

The AF deploys from St Croix, which is about 6 degrees farther west of Barbados

I forgot who said this, but someone said that this flight is really to collect new data to help advance the HWRF model, as well as check out TD8

Why waist fuel on a TS and it is not near land? I could see if it was a huge hurricane. But this is a TS at most. Just asking

I know. It seems there was a problem with the technical equipment. I'm getting used to this kind of problems this season.
