Wow, talk about localized maximum...

here is thing that concerns me...lets say that chris survives. Just the fact that the western part of that ridge is over eastern TX tells me that just a little error that could mean SE TX as well.

The 53 knot reading is bad data -- notice that the gust field says 047. The gust can't possibly be lower than the 30-second average wind speed.

I just posted this in the recon discussion thread:

EDIT: I was wrong. I got the columns mixed up. There was actually a 47 knot sustained wind with a 53 knot gust. Very impressive. It's quite a localized wind maximum.

Well then all the readings are wrong, because they are all lower.

I thought the seventh column was the 30sec average, and the tenth column was the ten-second maximum.

pretty good for a two-celled system

47 knots is the 30 second average, 53 knots is the 10 second avergae.

Chris looks to be far enough south in the Gulf for the impact to be well south of SE Texas, IF it survives.

[Matt-hurricanewatcher]

42.4 knots at the surface.

Sorry, my bad. I got the columns mixed up. That 53 knot reading is impressive.

Chris has been drinking his gatorade.

I am pretty sure your right...but** i will not completly say thats a done deal. Just the other day the GFS and company had the ridge centered near Atlanta.

no he's been drinking his H2O

[Normandy]

Relax....its not in a RIC or anything

[Pebbles]

I'd have to see another ob like that to feel comfortable with it.. it just sticks out like a sore thumb in the middle of those 20's

P.S. can anyone do a map overlay of that string? i don't have the proggie for that
