I just walked in and caught that on TWC also. If I remember correctly he said the 905MB was at flight level. I may be wrong but I thought that is what he said.

TWC has said atleast twice over the last few minutes, 905MB and 187KTS FL.

Where did this come from?

That real ob is hours old...doesn't necessarily dispute the 905mb data.

However, how in the world could it strengthen that quickly??

But yet, how could TWC get bogus recon data?

Very confusing lol.
