[wzrgirl1]

What happened to the missions scheduled for today? Were they cancelled?

[Travorum]

What happened to the missions scheduled for today? Were they cancelled?

The first one is supposed to be on station in half an hour and is in the air north of Puerto Rico right now, the next ones are scheduled to be on station at 11z on the 25th (18 hours from now).

[wzrgirl1]

OK thanks.

[cycloneye]

AF plane doing a survey of the atmosphere is flying at this time. It will not go thru the wave. On thursday afternoon is when an AF plane will flying thru the invest.

[cycloneye]

There is a NOAA plane doing survey with Tail Doppler Radar but will not do a fix because low is inland in DR.

[cycloneye]

The gulfstream jet is also flying thru the area and that data will feed the models for the 12z runs.

[cycloneye]

There are two NOAA planes one making a survey of the upper atmosphere and the other with the Tail Doppler Radar, but there will not be a low level invest until friday afternoon.

[cycloneye]

Another NOAA Tail Doppler Radar mission is underway. We will get word later this morning about if the first Air Force low level invest mission will go or not.

[cycloneye]

NOAA has a plane flying thru the area.

[cycloneye]

[cycloneye]

[cycloneye]

[cycloneye]

Another NOAA plane making survey is flying thru PTC9. So far the lowest pressure found is 1006 mbs.

[cycloneye]

Plane finds change in the direction of winds meaning a low is developing to the north of the plane.

[cycloneye]

Hopefully, we can have the first Air Force plane doing a fix this afternoon when it departs at 12:45 PM EDT.
