[clfenwi]

This morning's mission is enroute and still at cruising altitude. 45-60 minutes away from the center.

Thanks! I look forward to the findings. Think we will have a named system this afternoon based on recon.

[cycloneye]

Center moving east? As second VDM was east from the first one.

[Andy_L]

another question

why wouldn't they be flying out of St. Croix? wouldn't that allow them to spend much more time investigating the storm than flight time to and from Keesler??

[cycloneye]

They will be very busy in the next couple of days,that includes a Gulfstream jet mission.
