Their center fix looks pretty convincing, but they aren't finding much wind!

Over a huuuuuge area though, and still without much wind.

The main reason for lack of wind is similar to why the pressure is only inching down, and over such a huge area...there is barely any pressure gradient to stir up the winds...and certainly barely any convection in the area to transport those winds from aloft to the surface.

Looks like Recon is finally heading for the convection.

What about the flip-flop in wind direction though? To my amateur eyes it looks like a second rotation.

Yep, it didn't persist. At the time it looked like a trend but it is now obviously a local aberration.

power is flickering here. Can anyone take over recon? (we have a problem that FPL has been trying to diagnose for months where we lose it easily briefly)
