the sup vortex message will determine for sure whether or not this is a cane as it will report the winds from the NE quad

Would this be the center? 15.8N 72.1W

versus 15.7N and 71.9W on the last fix?

.1 to .2, I would say, atleast for this short period, WNW has become more NW

Does data support NW movement

#147 Postby Tommedic » Wed Jul 06, 2005 3:19 pm

I guess the big question is whether the recon data supports WNW or NW movement.

He is getting stronger. He has finally formed a deep Cdo over its Center. This thing is finally starting to gets it act together. Maybe not a hurricane at 5pm but maybe at 11pm.

We all know what the truth is...

ok ok ok


when the pressure falls, the storm is not weakening. Plus, the SW quad is the weakest quad of them all. 50+KT at FL means very close to if not at min cane status

Aren't those wind reading from inside the eye which would be naturally calmer?

Because I could have sworn I read that its pressure was 961 before. I guess it was 991.
