You have to wonder if there's something going on with Maintenance schedules.

06z Dvorak fixes might be able to get a CAT5 upgrade. Without recon, 140kt is likely the ceiling now.

Re: ATL: ETA - Hurricane - Discussion
That's why my pulse was increasing rapidly as I was checking the recon data feed earlier, I was on the edge of my seat as to would it make it in before some BS where it then just turns around...like Teal is doing now

Re: ATL: ETA - Hurricane - Discussion
Hopefully AF304 can still get some transmissions in. Without recon it's going to be harder to get the operational Cat 5 upgrade, which I think it should get. We'll see, NHC knows what they're doing. I bet they'll upgrade at the intermediate assuming Eta keeps deepening at the current rate.

Re: ATL: ETA - Hurricane - Discussion
I’m curious if the AF plane is still able to get data even if they can’t transmit it yet? Or if they are even allowed to?

As long as they just get the right category, they can sort it out post-season honestly. But if it's a Cat 5, it needs to be upgraded

Re: ATL: ETA - Hurricane - Discussion
Without any more recon, I'm honestly doubting this gets classified (operationally at least) as a C5... which is an odd thing to say, given how perfect the presentation is and the continuing RI trend.

The incoming AF plane aborted. Very bad day for the squadron.

All the recon planes are getting signal! Dropsonde reveals a 3 MB drop from an hour before. (925 MB)

NOAA is down to one P3 for now, and that plane had maintenance issues today.
Sounds like they need new planes.
The new planes need to be jet powered and a lot faster!

The dropsondes are transmitting but I believe that they don’t use the same transmission signal as the planes.

Another SE eyewall drop of 155 knots at the surface! Maybe these measurements are not wind gusts?
