[SkyDragon]

SHIP S 1200 16.20 -70.30 188 315 110 28.0 - 4.9 3.0 - - 29.56 -0.01 36.9 36.0

Impressive report four hours ago. It may come into question the accuracy of the instruments.

What does that mean?

Winds: 28 knots (32 mph)
Pressure: 1001 mb

Thanks!

Let me just say that if you want a pro met to answer you more quickly, you might post it in the appropriate thread in the Tropical Analysis section. I did and I quickly had a response.

Yep that ship report at least justifies 30kts and thats without what recon may show.

Gaotrcane, I personally can't see Florida having anthing to worry about it would have to move NW right now and go right through that ULL which is not going to happen IMO. Main threat is probably from LA westwards. Still I'm no pro so can't be sure.

LA meaning Los Angeles? Or is it Lousiana

I don't think I have ever seen a double secret probation Special Tropical Disturbance Statement before.

I asked a pro met in the tropical analysis forum. I think you are right but just want to be sure. Remember Ernesto????

Recon also justifies 30 kts, they had some pretty strong wind readings before they started descending.

LA meaning Louisiana.

this thing has been entertaining to watch, to say the least.

[SkyDragon]

this is way more interesting that Bertha!

This definitely

I don't know what you understand when you say interesting, but for me Bertha was one of the strangest and most interesting systems in the last years.

I believe the Sierra Madre Oriental mountains ensure no more than a badly degraded mid-level circulation could ever make it to Los Angeles.

From daily comparisons of ships to ground and buoys, I can assure you that 28kt could just as well be gust speed reported, not continuous winds. When all over a wide area winds are 15kt and even ships calling me from offshore are 15kt, and NDBC has reports of 25-27kt from ships in exact same area, you know it's gusts. (Never in 8 years have I seen a ship report with anything in the "gust" column, it isn't used.) It could be continuous winds, but one can't know for sure either way.

You forgot to mention the SST. Very cold for a TC to survive.

I didn't want to post this in the recon threads, but I would like to thank everyone who helps us commoners when it comes to reporting and transcribing the recon reports. The new graphics with the plane overlays are amazing. Keep up the great work everyone!!!

Recon discussion thread, hard to find with all the active threads at the moment.

If that convection center doesn't rebound these guys could be right and the shear is already getting it. Hate to admit it.

Seems to be holding its own at the moment. Different from yesterday afternoon, that's for sure.
