It was at yesterdays TCPOD, but that mission was canceled after NHC wrote the last advisory on TS Colin.

Good to see they are still flying today, I half wondered when I saw the IR first thing whether they were even going to bother, but the Vis.imagery shows its probably a good idea they do go.

This afternoon's mission is airborne. Roughly a 300 nm flight more or less due north. Should be at the storm right around 1 PM.

My estimate assumed a more direct route to the storm than they took. They've set themselves up to do a really complete southwest-northeast pass of the storm. Should start descending soon.

Based on the data, I think a circulation has been closed off somewhere - but where?
