60 degrees are winds coming from the ENE. So no signs of any circulation. However, winds are kind of high where recon is now and tropical storm force winds in the convection is a possibility.

That is a flight level wind, by the way. Look for a "4" group at the end of each report for surface winds. Here's one with a surface observation:

URNT11 KNHC 041048
97779 10484 40152 63300 03000 03015 27249 /0012 40515
RMK AF985 0102A CYCLONE OB 10

15.2N/63.3W
Wind 050 deg / 15 kts
Pressure 1012mb

Looks like they're heading south through the "center" now. We'll see soon if they find any westerly winds.

Oops, just glanced quickly at what he had decoded and did not verify. There is a likelyhood of TS force winds near the strong convection.

Oops! I was just thinking yesterday that I need to scout out more of what is actually already ON storm2k and here's yet more incentive!
Thanks Chad.

Thanks for the info but posting raw recon is of little help. Please post the decoded information. Very few people know how to read the raw data. I will be happly to supply you with a decoder if you need it otr anyone else for that matter.
