Recon just went through the eye wall. Measured 64knots in the NW quad. 700mb height was 2894. Pressure is probably still around 970 mb.
Just found 88knots in SE quad.

PPPPP: The pressure altitude in meters.
DDDD: The absolute value of the D-value in meters (a 5 occupies the thousands

clockwise.
SSS: The 30-second average wind speed in knots.
TTT: The air temperature in degrees and tenths Celsius. The tenths digit is even

RRRRR: Radar altitude in meters
FFFFFFFFFF: Default status for the MINOB/HDOB data. A "1" indicates the parameter is

Noticed that last night too...temp was 54. Now its up to 59.Derek Ortt wrote:966 but this isnt exactly a warm core system based upon the temp gradient. I would not expect a flat temp pattern. This is what Arlene had
A bit chilly isn't it? Care to elaborate on what this might do to the winds? If any affect?

Derek do you think it is a hybrid system now?

Subtropical by those temperatures. For one it has a large wind field...But it has a oreganized eye/Cdo...This would be the weirdest subtropical system I'v seen. It went from a boader line cat5 to a subtropical system...This is a year to remember.
Not only that this would be by far the most powerful subtropical cyclone since recored keeping.

Derek, please. You're making people believe this is a hybrid or subtropical system by that comment. While it is not the warmest of tropical cyclones, in NO WAY, shape, or form represents that the storm is going to become subtropical anytime soon.
When you say something like that many people will become confused, so please try to give clear information...
