92L Recon Disscusion Thread

530 TWO says recon is on the way!

AN AIR FORCE RESERVE RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT IS EN ROUTE TO INVESTIGATE THE AREA THIS EVENING.

[cycloneye]

Yes they are flying.!!

[Evil Jeremy]

they are already finding high winds in there i think!

[cycloneye]

Thunder44,graphics please

[wxman57]

they are already finding high winds in there i think!

The plane is at over 25,000 ft. above Georgia!. Nowhere near this disturbance, and nowhere near water, in fact. This is just a frontal wave. No tropical development is likely. It will develop along the cold front, however.

Yeah, I'm little late because. I thought it was cancelled.

The plane is actually over Georgia. Nowhere near the system yet.

Thunder44,what is that yellow box that you have at one of the positions?

That's nothing. Just something forgot to take out doing the maps.

[WindRunner]

Dang this is a suprise! I leave expecting nothing special today, and now we have recon in the air! (I'm really tempted to sing that, but I won't )

There are stronger winds over land then there are in this system.

[huricanwatcher]

well the heck did that mess come from ... are my eyes deceiving me.. or are we in for it again??? think this deserves a HOLY CRAP

[Thunder44]

They were at higher altitude then.

The system actually does look better organzied on satellite imagery today than it did earlier.

From this, it LOOKS like they found a vortex at 5000 feet, then started dropping down to a lower altitude.

[Grease Monkey]

think this deserves a HOLY CRAP

This being 2006. All new systems now deserve a until proven a threat.

[craptacular]

They're down to 500 feet ... might scare some boats.

[wxman57]

It appears to be already attached to the cold front, which lies just offshore North Carolina. Will be interesting to see if the NHC now names a frontal low a TD or TS, as they ignored the "frontal low" offshore Nova Scotia that had no front in the area.

Here's a surface analysis I made using GARP and hand-drawing the front.

So far the winds measured by the RECON are not even enough to upgrade it to an intense thunderstorm, much less a cyclone!!!!

So far winds haved been between 6-12 kts.

[Thunder44]

I don't believe they are near the center. The low appears to be much further southwest where they flying.
