That specific "1" means that the dewpoint is suspect. Each "0" or "1" stands for something different.

Hello all! Great board! And this would be my first post, wouldn't it? (we may be watching history in the making, I can certainly sympathize with everyone else in this way who cannot sleep).

Welcome BigSky... lots of data to come i'm sure.

I'm thinking that the NW quad is the heavy hitter here.

Waiting for the vortex.

Center could be in this vicinity, with 14kt flight-level winds.

looking back, i suppose that is just a very small eye. I would (based on the last sat we had) to expect a bigger eye then that though.

It's funny how the recon thread has become the hangout thread. Not that I'm complaining, I think it pretty much sums this place up nicely. Bunch of hurricane addicts eagerly awaiting the next morsel of information.
