[HURAKAN]

I will be here doing the graphics once the plane approaches Félix.

EDIT: place = plane

[HenkL]

They are doing one hdob every minute so far, so there will be 20 minutes before new data will arrive.

Drop outside of core: surface at 1010mb/34kts

[Recurve]

Thanks for the great graphics. That core is incredible.

[Derek Ortt]

judging by the sats, this looks like a T 6.5/6.5, maybe a 6.5+

[WindRunner]

I can't take all the credit . . . it's still Henk's KML (at least until I get some free time )

And yeah, Derek, with the ring of -70C, I would probably expect a little over 6.5. Still too ragged for the 7.0s yet.

Another drop . . . 1008mb/34kts . . .

30sec obs are back, FL winds still rising . . .

I'll will also be doing some graphing. As always, just highlighting the most important info.

[WindRunner]

Then I'll keep this one up-to-date as well for those who'd rather not/can't follow along in GE.



Note: as a reminder, the sat image is very much out of date in relation to recon obs, on the order of almost 45 minutes in this case . . . so no, they have not cleared the eyewall as of the last set of data, even though it appears so on this map.
