And they are up and gone! Next mission makes a first fix around 8am EDT tomorrow.

EDIT: corrected next flight timing

[Aquawind]

Also thanks to WindRunner,StormsAhead and clfenwi for helping us with the decoding of the data.

Ditto that !! Thanks

[CrazyC83]

I thought there was a mission late this evening and overnight?

[Cape Verde]

It seems kind of ridiculous to be arguing whether this is .25 kt short of a Tropical Storm.

If it's Alberto, it's barely Alberto, and if it's not yet, it appears to be getting a little stronger at the moment.

The exact moment of when it officially becomes a TS is really of significance only to losers like me who spend Saturday afternoons on a weather forum.

[cycloneye]

I thought there was a mission late this evening and overnight?

TROPICAL DEPRESSION ONE- GULF OF MEXICO
FLIGHT ONE
A. 11/1200-1800Z
B. AFXXX 0201A CYCLONE
C. 11/0915Z
D. 24.7N AND 86.8W
E. 11/1100 TO 1800Z
F. SFC TO 10,000FT

Next mission will be tommorow morning with takeoff around 5:15 AM EDT.

[no advance]

I love June storms thankfully it is going to rain in Fl. and not move over the western gulf where it could get alttle stronger. Remember if some one asks for an advance on their job say no advance.

[mtm4319]

We're not ignoring, but mtm4319 apparently isn't on right now, and none of us have it. So until a person who has the software sees his question, it isn't going to get answered. I'd personally like to have it too, if it makes you feel any better.

EDIT: and brunota said exactly what I was thinking . . .

Yeah, I had to leave for a while. There is no "program" I'm using for this. I take the last observation of each 10-minute set, place it in the GE at the correct coordinates, then make a new point on a drawn path for each coordinate. Then I take a screen shot and upload it. Kind of tedious, but that's what it is.

[Brent]

Next mission will be tommorow morning with takeoff around 5:15 AM EDT.

[cycloneye]

Next mission will be tommorow morning with takeoff around 5:15 AM EDT.

Brent why the expression?

Speak for yourself cape verde I like to think of my sat afternoon weather obsession as making me refined and educated:)
I have an excuse though 3 kids!

I keep getting pulled away because my girlfriend wants me to watch those stupid MTV reality shows for girls. Honestly with a girlfriend it's hard to ever get on this thing long. she is sleeping now so that is why I have a chance!

[P.K.]

E. 11/1100 TO 1800Z

No problem, midday start for looking at recon tomorrow then. There have been several other people around on here at 10am my time the last few days though so it won't just be me around I'm sure. (It is usually just me between N Atlantic seasons at that time of day)

[cycloneye]

Ok folks any themes away from the recon reports if you dont mind do those conversations by PM's.

[Stormtrack03]

NHC may keep this storm alive in terms of continuity and because it may pose a threat, but technically without a definite closed circulation this storm is only a broad area of low pressure, not a tropical depression.

no problem Luis - just had to vent once !!! I'm looking forward to the recon data for tomorrow AM. I think we should have a TS by then although a weak one at 45mph.

boca chris, I don't think that there is ever a time I am on here that you are not.
