Air Force plane left but NOAA3 will make a last pass shortly.

MIMIC TC (blend of various 85 and 89 GHz microwave channels from five satellites) for Arthur today. Signs of organization.

find it funny that the AF plane always does (for the most part) perfect angled turns and pattern.. the noaa plane is all over the place.. lol

It's a pretty small system so it could quickly ramp up, I'd imagine it will get larger the further north it gets as it starts to interact with the trough. Maybe we'll see an Alex type intensification.

Yes. I *think* AF is on the way home, but the NOAA plane is still out there but probably not for too much longer.

It actually looks like it has gotten bigger the last few frames.

HA! I was just thinking the same thing. AirForce all rigid and in perfect pattern, while NOAA looks like it's a biplane practicing for the airshow...

CarolinaNBANFL wrote:65 knots and a pressure that low means this thing is actually a hurricane if I do not have something twisted there. I seen 65 knots was found along with a 984 mb reading. That is hurricane all day even for someone like me doesn't take rocket science. I know NOAA found that reading but it wasn't discredited or at least I didn't see a post that said it was erroneous.


Keep in mind that the reconnaissance documents and estimates peak winds averaged over a ten second period, while advisories report on peak winds averaged over a one minute period. It may not seem like much but IMO may be significant in the timing of intensification versus recon reports. Haven't seen anyone yet comment on this difference.

NOAA plane is for research or Doppler radar. The AF is a standard alpha pattern as it is an operational flight

yeah most know that.. but any research scientific analysis would logically be done with a little conciseness....

pressure probably 989mb now... but winds still do not justify an upgrade

There is the pass with that low reading at the end.

Which is what surprised me whenAF missed center earlier and veered into a sharp loop to go back and find it, usually they will just get it on the next pass and not deviate.

Does anyone think it will be upgraded at 11:00 pm?

Agree,no stronger winds found than the ones in previous passes.
