Aric Dun/Tolakram posted on the recon thread saying that they maybe waiting out the burst of convection in the CDO or there maybe excessive hail and they're waiting for the hail to subside.

I don't know. If it was a serious problem, they would head home. Someone suggested hail on the recon thread, although usually you hear about that in the vortex message.

I keep checking:
https://twitter.com/NOAA_HurrHunter
To see if they post anything.


They could have detected it after the vortex was sent but after they passed out beyond where hail could have been. hard to say. I've never seen them do this for such a long time.

At this rate, the storm will pass them if they keep staying idle in the SE quad. Maybe that's what they're waiting for?

What if hail doesn't subside until landfall, are we losing another pass?

They might just be assessing the plane. Although normally if it is too bad they would withdraw sooner.

Josh keeps moving as the wobbles continue.

We're back in Emiliano Zapata. Chasing #Hurricane #PATRICIA is like swinging at a knuckleball: the eye wobbles are out of control.

From what I'm seeing, on the inbound leg, the plane descended over 2,000 ft in only 30 seconds. The on the outbound leg, it ascended over 1,000 ft in 30 seconds, while measuring 191 kt horizontal winds. That simply is not safe. If anyone on that crew has any bodily fluids left inside of them I'll be shocked.

If that's the case, they're probably cleaning up objects that broke loose and went all over the cabin, a la the Hugo flight Dr. Masters was on.

If the next HDOB shows another loop then I'm pretty confident in my saying that they're waiting for the storm to pass and they've ran into some kind of trouble that is keeping them from simply flying back.

As I said earlier, this flight should have been cancelled on safety grounds

This mission does not really compare to the previous one in terms of strength.
