Hard to answer until I see a full set of recon obs. Probably just one of the legs as they nearing the system. Unless they are encountering mechanical problems they will go ahead and at a minimun use this as a training mission since they are already there.

Don't know if it's an error, or they have mechanical problems, or just don't think it's developing anymore. We'll have to see when the next ob comes in.

Yes they have turned around as development stoped and did not look thunderstorm appernt. In other words the thunderstorms weakend so they canceled it

Are there anymore updates out from the hurricane hunters?

Im sure they most likely didn't find anything.

Well they didnt even get out to the area of concern to even check it out, so Unfortunetly there will be no reports. The last report I recieved was Invest Ob 09 and that was almost an hour ago. So sorry it doesnt look like they went out there. Well I just found Invest Ob ten. I will post the previous 5 corrdenants

Invest Ob 06
20.1 North 84.8 West (this was as far southeast as they got and this was still over 300 Miles from the area of concern)
Invest Ob 07
22.5 North 86.7 West
Invest Ob 08
24.5 North 87.4 West
Invest Ob 09
27.1 North 88.8 West
Invest Ob 10
29.0 North 88.9 West

So as you can tell they are heading back in. We will have to see what the 5:30 TWO says. :grr:

Well that didnt make any sense to even leave in the first place if you only went half way then turned back.

lilbump3000 · #12 Postby **lilbump3000** » Wed Jul 21, 2004 3:52 pm

The weather channel just said they turned back around due to mechanical problems.

TWC said the plane had mech. probs and had to turn around and if necessary, another will go out tomorrow morning.
