42kt wind over the lowest pressure? That can't be right.

EDIT: Recon missed the center I think.

[deltadog03]

ON GE looks like many data plots are missing...

Two sets ago the first ob was:

234830 1941N <7914W 7805 02107 9940 +153 +152 134072 075 060 017 00

Look at the longitude. I think the system threw out the whole set because of that.

[RL3AO]

You can see they clearly missed the center...or maybe this is an open wave.

Flight level interpolated map from the AF flight

[93superstorm]

So since they missed the center, its lower then 970mb?

Eyewall drop: 34kt at surface

[LAwxrgal]

That can't be right... they must have missed the highest winds.

[RL3AO]

That can't be right... they must have missed the highest winds.

It was way southwest of the center.

It was way southwest of the center.

Oh okay. My bad. If that's SW of the center, would that mean the windfield is expanding?

[cycloneye]

There is a discussion thread for the members to talk about the recon data.Lets leave this thread only for the data that comes in to then not have interruptions that the members may miss some data.

I thought it seemed like a long time since I posted the obs.

Recon turned around and going back for the center.
