Swimdude · #146 Postby **Swimdude** » Thu Sep 08, 2005 11:50 am

62kt flight winds... I guess that's about 54kt at the surface... 65 mph TS?

It should be on it's way right now and is expected at the center anytime now.

Looks like we have a Hurricane :eek:

Well that's a drop.

Hmmm the question now will they change the watches and warnings to cane instead of ts.. :?:

I think they will because even if its a 70mph storm its still close enough where it would be important to have hurricane watches and warnings up.

One thing's certain... that RECON report with 985 millibars came in at just the perfect time, since the 5PM advisory will be released in around half an hour.

NRL site still has it at 990 mb, but maybe they're just slow in revising it.
