Wow that picture is so scary. incredible.

What is the estimated time that we will get recon back from the plane?

What is the estimated time that we will get recon back from the plane?

Likely about 30-40 minutes. Probably will then be a Special Advisory.

NHC is sticking with 115 knots until the last minute.

[Falling Soil]

Aw nuts. Here we go again.

Don't blame them, since there is Recon near.

Appears as though Maria's west side is already feeling the effects of Dominica's mountains.

[RL3AO]

The more I look at satellite, the more I wouldn't be surprised if this has dropped 6 mb/hr since recon left. That would put it in the 927 mb range. Wilma did 54 mb in 6 hours (9 mb/hr).

Hard to get a more clear-cut DT of 7.0 than this.

Tom from cbs 6 said this will be over 300 miles off the coast of Florida. Not a threat to FL or US.

I am not seeing that at all, flow and core looks very healthy still

Wrong

A small island like that will have little to no effects on Maria.

[Aric Dunn]

Definately appears to be the start of a ERC cycle.

Won't believe anyone until this is 2 days out.

I'd say that is close to T7.5.

[Ken711]

Have seen much on the UKMET, how is it tracking compared to the other models so far?

For a large hurricane, no, but Maria has quite a small core and it will be quite interesting (from a scientific perspective) seeing how Dominica influences Maria.

WOW!! I look at the satellite presentation with just complete astonishment. Maria is just plain and simple about as classical, textbook in appearance as you can have with a tropical cyclone. Perfect symmetry and that pinhole eye!! This is a Cat 5 imo.

The pinhole eye reminds me of Glibert
