SSW Wind Just Found by Recon

#1 Postby wxman57 » Thu Aug 14, 2003 6:03 am

URNT11 KNHC 141051
97779 10514 50257 8000/ 18400 19010 17119 /2548
RMK AF984 04DDA INVEST OB 14

Decoding that, we get:

Date/time: 14th / 1051 GMT (6:51am EDT)

Location: 25.7N / 80.0W

Flight level 184 x 10 = 1840 meters

Wind: 190 at 10kts at flight level

Ok, so not at the surface, but it looks like the plane went up about 300 meters and may be finding a circulation around 6000 ft up. I can't see any circulation on radar loops, but I'm at home now. I'll be heading into work soon & will post some nice GARP images from there later.

Checking everything out that I have available to me, at least that I can understand, it is certainly struggling to develop a closed low. Some of the buoys in the N keys are trying to hint at a wind shift to indicate the same, but haven't quite made it yet, at least at the surface. Gonna be a very nasty day in S FL and I imagine we will be tracking a quickly developing, not necessarily quickly intensifying, tropical cyclone within 24 hrs.

Florida's deflector shield is working again. Amazing how if this got together like its doing this morning 300 miles east of its position we might be boarding up now :o Florida is the luckiest state in the union. As it is folks in the GOM are going to have their hands full. After todays wind and rain, I am turning my attention to the wave exiting Africa, as I'm sure you will Luis. Watch it in the GOM though, this one could intensify rapidly when it hits the warm waters. Cheers!! :wink:

Yes, this system may bee the opening salvo to a burst of activity down the road. It looks like the CV season is about to get a jump start soon:):)
